viimasel

Viimasel is a form of the Estonian adjective viimane, which means "last" or "latest." It appears in everyday speech and writing when the adjective is used in certain grammatical environments to agree with the noun it modifies. In common expressions, viimasel often conveys recency or finality.

Typical usages include time-related phrases such as viimasel ajal ("lately" or "recently"), and event- or order-related constructions like viimasel korral ("on the last occasion") or viimasel kohal ("in the last place"). It is used across registers, from informal conversation to formal texts, whenever the sense of "most recent" or "final" is intended.

The form follows standard Estonian adjective agreement patterns and is understood by native speakers as a routine morphological variant rather than a separate lexical item. Non-native learners often encounter viimasel early on because of its appearance in frequent temporal expressions. An approximate pronunciation in English orthography is "vee-mah-sel."
