sünteetilisele

Sünteetiline is an Estonian adjective meaning synthetic. It is used to describe substances, materials, or processes that are artificially produced rather than naturally occurring. This can apply to a wide range of applications, from chemical compounds to textiles.

In chemistry, a synthetic compound is one that has been created through a chemical reaction, as opposed to being extracted from a natural source. For example, synthetic vitamins are manufactured in laboratories. Similarly, synthetic materials, such as plastics or synthetic fibers like polyester, are man-made.

The term "sünteetiline" often implies a deliberate creation for a specific purpose, mimicking or replacing natural counterparts. It can also refer to processes that are engineered or simulated, like synthetic speech or synthetic data. The opposite of sünteetiline is usually naturaalne, meaning natural. The concept of synthetic is important in many scientific and industrial fields.
