vahekorrale

vahekorrale is a term used in Estonian to describe a pause or interval within a larger event or activity. It literally translates to "inter-time" or "between-time." This can refer to a break during a performance, a recess in a sporting event, or any temporary cessation of action. The length and nature of a vahekorrale can vary greatly depending on the context. For instance, a vahekorrale during a theatre play might be for a short intermission allowing the audience to stretch or purchase refreshments, while a vahekorrale in a lengthy negotiation could be a period for parties to consult internally or take a break from tense discussions. It signifies a temporary stop before resuming the original activity. The concept emphasizes the distinct separation between distinct phases of an ongoing process. This term is commonly understood in everyday Estonian conversation and is not specific to any particular academic or technical field. Its usage is broad, covering a wide range of situations where a break or pause is necessary or desired.
