üksikhaaval

"üksikhaaval" is an Estonian adverb that translates to "individually," "one by one," "separately," or "in isolation." It describes an action or state that is performed or exists in a singular, distinct manner, rather than collectively or as part of a group.

This adverb is frequently used in contexts where attention is drawn to the individual components of a larger whole. For example, one might observe how people are entering a building üksikhaaval, suggesting they are not arriving in a crowd but at separate times or in small, uncoordinated groups. In a more abstract sense, one might analyze data üksikhaaval, meaning each data point is examined independently.

The word emphasizes a lack of aggregation or shared experience. If something is done üksikhaaval, it implies a focus on the singular nature of each instance. This can also extend to the idea of being alone or isolated, though it doesn't necessarily carry a negative connotation of loneliness unless the context suggests it. It simply highlights the discrete nature of the subject or action being described.

The usage of "üksikhaaval" is common in everyday Estonian conversation and writing, serving as a precise way to convey the idea of individual separation or distinctness.
