liides

Liides is a common noun in Estonian meaning interface, junction, or boundary between two systems, components, or processes. It is used in technical contexts to describe how parts connect and communicate, and it can also be used metaphorically to describe links between ideas or organizations.

In technology and science, liides refers to the points of contact between different subsystems. In computing, it covers hardware interfaces (connectors, ports) and software interfaces (APIs, user interfaces). Phrases such as kasutajaliides (user interface) and liidese (the interface) are standard. The plural liidesed denotes multiple interfaces.

In broader usage, the term can describe the boundary between materials, phases, or disciplines, where properties such as adhesion, bonding, or information transfer occur. It can also be used to speak about partnerships or collaborations that connect otherwise separate groups.

Etymology: liides is a native Estonian word with a general sense of joining or boundary; it is part of standard technical vocabulary and appears in dictionaries as meaning interface or junction. It is primarily used in Estonian-language texts; English-language encyclopedia articles typically translate it as "interface" or "junction" depending on context.
