Õiguslikest

Õiguslikest is a grammatical form of the Estonian adjective õiguslik, meaning legal or lawful. It is the elative plural form used before plural nouns in the elative case, often appearing in formal or legal contexts to express movement from or reference to something legal in nature. The word is formed from the noun õigus (law, right) with the suffix -lik, which yields adjectives describing things relating to law or legality.

In practice, õiguslikest appears in phrases that discuss aspects, standards, documents, or arguments connected with law. It is commonly found in legal, regulatory, academic, and policy texts. For example, õiguslikest dokumentidest means “from the legal documents,” and õiguslikest põhimõtetest means “from the legal principles.” Such usage helps specify that the referenced material or considerations pertain to law or legality rather than to non-legal matters.

Relationship to related terms: õiguslik is related to other Estonian words built from õigus (law, right), such as seaduslik (lawful, legitimate) and õiguspärane (legitimate, rightful). The form õiguslikest is distinct from the nominative plural õiguslikud (the legal ones) and from genitive õiguslike (of the legal ones), reflecting different grammatical roles in a sentence.

Summary: õiguslikest is a key inflected form used to describe or reference things related to law in plural elative contexts. It is a common tool in precise, formal Estonian writing when conveying legality, regulation, or legal sources.
