üleüldiselt

Üleüldiselt is an Estonian adverb that translates to "generally," "overall," or "in general" in English. It is used to express a broad statement or a common characteristic of something, rather than focusing on specific details. The word is formed from the root "üldine," meaning "general" or "common."

When used in a sentence, "üleüldiselt" modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, indicating that the statement applies to most cases or in a broad sense. For example, one might say "Üleüldiselt on ilm hea," meaning "Overall, the weather is good." This implies that while there might be occasional bad weather days, the general condition is positive.

Similarly, it can be used to summarize a situation or a process. If someone is describing a complex procedure, they might conclude by saying, "Üleüldiselt on see lihtne," meaning "In general, it is simple." This suggests that despite some intricate steps, the overall understanding or execution is straightforward. The adverb serves to provide a general perspective, abstracting away from specific exceptions or minor variations. Its usage allows for concise communication when a comprehensive overview is sufficient.
