üleemaailmsed

üleemaailmsed is an Estonian adjective that translates to "worldwide" or "global" in English. It is used to describe something that is happening, existing, or extending across the entire world.

For instance, one might refer to "üleemaailmsed kliimamuutused" (global climate change) or "üleemaailmsed spordivõistlused" (worldwide sporting events). The adjective is formed by combining the prefix "üle-" meaning "over" or "across" with the word "maailm" meaning "world," with the suffix "-sed" indicating plurality or a general characteristic.
