lõhkumata

Lõhkumata is an Estonian word that translates to "unbroken," "undamaged," or "intact" in English. It is derived from the verb "lõhkuma," which means "to break" or "to shatter." The suffix "-mata" is a negative suffix, indicating the absence of the action of breaking.

The word can be used in various contexts to describe something that has not been compromised in its physical state. For example, a package might arrive lõhkumata, meaning it arrived without any damage. A promise could be kept lõhkumata, indicating it was fulfilled without being broken. Similarly, a defense line could remain lõhkumata, implying it was not breached.

In a more abstract sense, lõhkumata can also refer to something that remains whole or complete, without division or fragmentation. A community might strive to remain lõhkumata, emphasizing unity and solidarity. It suggests a state of integrity and resilience, where something has withstood potential forces that could cause it to break or diminish. The concept is fundamental to understanding the preservation of physical objects, promises, and even social structures in the Estonian language.
