mõnikorduvalt

Mõnikorduvalt is an Estonian adverb that translates to "sometimes," "occasionally," or "now and then" in English. It is derived from the word "mõni," meaning "some" or "a few," and "kord," meaning "time" or "occasion." The suffix "-lt" indicates its adverbial function. This word is used to describe an action or event that happens intermittently, not constantly but not rarely either. It suggests a frequency that falls between always and never. For example, one might say "Mõnikorduvalt käin metsas jalutamas," which means "Occasionally, I go for walks in the forest." It implies that the activity is a regular occurrence, but not something that happens every day or even every week. The nuance of "mõnikorduvalt" suggests a degree of spontaneity or a lack of strict scheduling. It is a common and versatile adverb in the Estonian language, used in everyday conversation and writing to add detail about the frequency of events or actions.
