ütluslikult

ütluslikult is an Estonian adverb. It is derived from the Estonian word "ütlus," which means "saying" or "utterance." The suffix "-likult" is a common Estonian adverbial suffix, indicating a manner or quality. Therefore, "ütluslikult" essentially means "in a manner of speaking," "verbally," or "by word of mouth."

This adverb is used to describe actions or processes that are done through spoken language rather than through writing or other means. For example, one might say that a tradition is passed down "ütluslikult" from one generation to the next, emphasizing the oral transmission of knowledge or customs. It can also be used to distinguish between something that is said and something that is written or implied. If a person agrees to something "ütluslikult," it means they have verbally consented to it. The term highlights the act of speaking and the directness of verbal communication. It is a straightforward adverb that denotes the method of communication as being spoken words.
