tükeldada

Tükeldada is a term originating from Estonian that describes the act of chopping or slicing something into pieces. It is most commonly used in culinary contexts, referring to the preparation of ingredients for cooking. This can involve dicing vegetables, mincing herbs, or cutting meat into manageable portions. The precision of the tükeldada can vary depending on the desired outcome, from fine dices for a salad to larger chunks for a stew. Beyond the kitchen, tükeldada can also be used to describe the process of breaking down other materials into smaller parts, such as wood for firewood or fabric for sewing. The verb form, tükeldama, means to be chopping or slicing.
