Õhtupoolsetel

"Õhtupoolsetel" is an Estonian word that translates to "in the afternoons" or "during the afternoons". It is the plural partitive case of the word "õhtupoolik", which means afternoon. The word is commonly used to describe activities, events, or states that occur during the latter part of the day, specifically between midday and evening.

For example, one might say "Mulle meeldib õhtupoolsetel raamatuid lugeda" which means "I like to read books in the afternoons". This indicates a habitual action that takes place during that particular time frame. Similarly, "Kohtumised toimuvad õhtupoolsetel" translates to "Meetings take place in the afternoons", specifying the timing of those events.

The use of "õhtupoolsetel" emphasizes a recurring or general occurrence within the afternoon period, rather than a single, specific afternoon. It is a versatile term used in everyday conversation and writing to denote this part of the day. The concept of "õhtupoolne" is generally understood to encompass the period after lunch and before dinner, often associated with winding down from work or school, leisure activities, or social gatherings.
