ühekorralist

Ühekorralist is an Estonian word that translates to "one-off" or "single" in English. It is commonly used as an adjective to describe something that occurs, is produced, or is done only once, and is not intended to be repeated or become a regular occurrence. For instance, it can refer to a single payment, a special event, or a unique item.

The term emphasizes the singularity and non-recurring nature of the subject. It is often used in contrast to terms that denote regularity or frequency, such as "igakordne" (each time) or "korduv" (recurring). In contexts like financial transactions, "ühekorraline makse" would mean a single payment rather than a series of installments. Similarly, a "ühekorraline üritus" signifies a special, non-repeating event.

The usage of "ühekorralist" can be found in various aspects of life, from administrative procedures and official documents to everyday conversations. Its core meaning remains consistent: something that happens or exists just once. This distinguishes it from anything that is part of a pattern or a series.
