maailmavahelise

Maailmavahelise is an Estonian adjective form derived from the compound maalimvaheline that conveys the idea of interworld or between-worlds. The term is built from the elements maailman world (maailm) and vaheline (between, inter-), with a suffix that marks it as an adjective. In usage, maailmavahelise appears as a modifier in phrases referring to relations, phenomena, or concepts that pertain to more than one world or realm.

In practice, maailmavahelise is typically found in academic, philosophical, religious, literary, or speculative fiction contexts. It can describe interworld relations, interworld contact, or interworld realities. Examples of its use include phrases such as maailmavahelise suhtluse (interworld communication), maailmavahelise kontakti (interworld contact), or maailmavahelise reaalsuse (interworld reality). The nuance of the term can be metaphorical, describing symbolic crossings between different realms of existence, or more literal, in works that posit multiple coexisting worlds.

Etymology and morphology: the word is formed by combining world with the concept of between, then inflecting as an Estonian adjective to fit a noun phrase. As a form, maailmavahelise is most often encountered before a noun or inside a noun phrase, with the rest of the phrase inflected according to Estonian grammar.
