[edit]ilmalik (genitive ilmaliku, partitive ilmalikku, comparative ilmalikum, superlative kõige ilmalikum)
- secular, worldly (not connected with religion or church, not following the word of God or church traditions)
- Synonyms: mittekiriklik, sekulaarne
- 1926-1933, Anton Hansen Tammsaare, chapter XXVII, in Tõde ja õigus (Truth and Justice)[1], page 230:
- Aga siis sündis väga imelik asi, mis sünnib väga sagedasti ilmalikkude asjadega, kui jumalamehed oma käe nende külge pistavad: mida rohkem köster lepitas, seda rohkem mehed marru läksid, nagu oleksid isamaalised asjad omakasulised äriasjad või nagu oleksid nad ainult selleks jumalast maailma loodud, et üksteist isiklikult tõrvata ja haavata.
- But then a very strange thing happened, which happens very often in worldly affairs, when men of God put their hand into them: the more the pastor conciliated, the more the men became enraged, as if patriotic affairs were self-interested business affairs, or as if they had been created by God into the world only for this purpose to defame and hurt each other personally.
