sõlmimata

Sõlmimata is an Estonian word that translates to "unknotted" or "untied" in English. It is the past participle of the verb "sõlmida," which means "to tie," "to knot," or "to conclude." Therefore, sõlmimata describes a state of being no longer tied or fastened, or a situation that has not been resolved or finalized.

The word can be applied to physical objects. For example, a rope that has been untied would be described as sõlmimata. Similarly, a shoelace that is no longer tied is sõlmimata. In a more abstract sense, sõlmimata can refer to agreements or contracts that have not been signed or finalized. If a deal is still under negotiation and has not been formally agreed upon, it could be described as sõlmimata.

The concept of being sõlmimata implies a lack of resolution or a state of openness. It suggests that something is not yet complete or in its final form. This can be used in various contexts, from the practical to the metaphorical. For instance, a problem that has not yet been solved might be considered sõlmimata. The opposite of sõlmimata would be "sõlmitud," meaning "tied," "knotted," or "concluded." The distinction highlights the difference between a state of being open and a state of being closed or finalized.
