väljastavalta

Väljastavalt is an Estonian adverb that translates to "from the outside" or "externally". It describes an action, state, or origin that originates from or pertains to the exterior of something. For example, one might say that a sound is coming "väljastavalt" if it is audible from outside a building. Similarly, an object might be described as having a feature that is "väljastavalt" attached, meaning it is fixed to the exterior.

The word is derived from the Estonian word "väli", meaning "field" or "outside". The suffix "-st" indicates a partitive case or origin, and the suffix "-valt" forms adverbs. Therefore, "väljastavalt" literally means "from the outside field" or "from the external area". It is often used in contrast to "seestpoolt", which means "from the inside".

In practical usage, "väljastavalt" can refer to various contexts. A building's facade is its "väljastavalt" appearance. A decision made "väljastavalt" might be influenced by external factors rather than internal ones. The term can also be used in more technical or scientific contexts, such as describing forces acting "väljastavalt" on a system. The understanding of "väljastavalt" is rooted in its direct contrast with internal perspectives or origins, emphasizing the external as the source or location.
