mittesõltuvalt

Mitte sõltuvalt is an Estonian phrase that translates to "regardless of" or "irrespective of" in English. It is used to indicate that something will happen or be true no matter what other circumstances exist. The phrase emphasizes a lack of dependence on external factors.

For example, one might say "me tuleme kohale, mitte sõltuvalt ilmast," which means "we will arrive, regardless of the weather." This implies that the arrival is a certainty and will not be altered by the weather conditions. Another usage could be "otsus tehakse mitte sõltuvalt isiklikest eelistustest," meaning "the decision will be made irrespective of personal preferences." This highlights that the decision-making process is objective and not swayed by individual likes or dislikes.

The phrase is commonly used in both formal and informal Estonian communication. It serves to express a strong assertion of independence from influencing conditions, ensuring that the primary statement or action remains valid under all possibilities. The grammatical structure allows it to modify verbs, clauses, or entire sentences, underscoring the universality of the statement it accompanies.
