vastassuunaliselt

Vastassuunaliselt is an Estonian adverb that translates to "transversely" or "across" in English. It is derived from the word "vastassuun" which means "opposite direction" or "crosswise." The term is used to describe something that is oriented or moving in a direction that is perpendicular to the main axis or direction. For example, in architecture, a vastassuunaliselt oriented building would have its main facade facing perpendicular to the street. In a more abstract sense, the term can be used to describe any action or process that occurs in a direction opposite to the usual or expected one. The adverb is commonly used in technical and scientific contexts, as well as in everyday language to describe spatial relationships and movements.
