lisaaeg

Lisaaeg is a term in the Estonian language that translates roughly to “additional time” or “extra time” in English. It is a compound formed from lisa, meaning “additional,” and aeg, meaning “time.” In Estonian usage, lisaaeg is a noun that denotes an extension of the duration allotted for a task, event, or process.

Common contexts for lisaaeg include sports, where it can refer to stoppage or added time at the end of a game; education or examinations, where a student or participant may be granted lisaaeg to complete an assignment or test; and administrative or legal settings, where deadlines can be extended by a lisaaeg. The term also appears in the context of digital services, subscriptions, or licensing, where a trial period or license might be lengthened by a lisaaeg.

Usage and variations: In written Estonian, lisaaeg can appear as a single word or, in some style guides, as two words lisaa aeg. Related terms include ajapikendus (time extension) and pikendus (extension). The concept is primarily used in Estonian-language texts and is not a common loanword in other languages, though bilingual or translated material may include the English equivalents extra time or extension alongside the Estonian term.
