tõustades

Tõustades is an Estonian word that translates to "rising" or "ascending" in English. It is commonly used to describe the act of getting up from a seated or lying position. This can refer to a person physically standing up, or more generally to the upward movement of something.

The word can also be used metaphorically to describe an increase or improvement. For example, one might speak of "tõustades tööstuses" (rising in industry) to indicate progress or growth in a particular sector. In a similar vein, it can describe the improvement of a person's status or position.

In a culinary context, "tõustades" might refer to dough or bread rising during the baking process. The yeast or leavening agent causes the dough to expand and increase in volume, a process that is essential for creating a light and airy texture.

The word is derived from the Estonian verb "tõusma," which means "to rise." The "-des" ending is a gerund form, indicating an ongoing or continuous action. Therefore, "tõustades" emphasizes the process of rising rather than a completed action.
