ühekülgset

Ühekülgset is an Estonian adjective used to describe items that have content on only one side of a surface. It is the form used when referring to single-sided objects in contexts such as printing, publishing, design, and documentation. The term contrasts with two-sided or double-sided formats, where content appears on both sides of a sheet.

Etymology and form: the word is built from the elements üks (one) and külg (side) with a typical Estonian suffix that creates an adjective describing a property. The base form ühekülgne denotes the characteristic, while ühekülgset appears in constructions that require a descriptive modifier in the partitive or related case forms.

Usage and contexts: ühekülgset is commonly applied to describe sheets, forms, notices, or study materials that are printed or produced on a single side. This can influence readability, handling, archival practices, and compliance with specific guidelines (for example, exam papers or mailing materials that require one-sided printing). In metadata or cataloging, the descriptor helps indicate the physical format of a document.

See also and related terms: in practice, writers may contrast ühekülgset with double-sided formats and other paper- and printing-related descriptors. While the exact terminology can vary by industry, the core idea remains the same: ühekülgset designates single-sided content.

References: standard Estonian dictionaries and style guides describe ühekülgne as the related adjective and provide usage guidelines for describing printed or written materials.
