tehingulisi

Tehingulisi is a term that appears in some Estonian historical or linguistic contexts, often referring to individuals engaged in commercial transactions or trade. The word itself is derived from "tehing," meaning a transaction or deal. Therefore, "tehingulisi" can be understood as "those who do transactions" or "traders."

Historically, the term might have been used to describe merchants, peddlers, or anyone whose livelihood depended on buying and selling goods. The specific context in which "tehingulisi" appears would shed light on the precise nature of their activities, such as local market trade, long-distance commerce, or specific types of business dealings within a community. The usage of "tehingulisi" is not common in modern Estonian, having largely been replaced by more specific terms for various professions and economic activities. Its presence suggests a potential area of study for historical economics or the evolution of language in Estonia.
