Alkoholipõhistes

Alkoholipõhistes refers to substances or products that are based on or contain alcohol. In Estonian, the term "alkoholipõhistes" is the plural partitive case of "alkoholipõhine," which translates to "alcohol-based." This can encompass a wide range of items depending on the context.

For example, in the context of cleaning products, "alkoholipõhistes puhastusvahendites" would mean "in alcohol-based cleaning agents." These agents often utilize alcohol as a disinfectant or solvent due to its ability to break down oils and kill microorganisms. Common types of alcohol used include ethanol and isopropyl alcohol.

In discussions about fuels, "alkoholipõhistes kütustes" refers to "in alcohol-based fuels." Bioethanol, derived from plant matter, is a prominent example, often blended with gasoline to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and potentially lower emissions. Biodiesel can also be considered in a broader sense of alcohol-based fuel alternatives.

The term can also appear in contexts related to beverages, though this is less common as "alkohoolsed joogid" (alcoholic beverages) is the standard term. However, if discussing the ingredients or formulation of certain products that use alcohol as a base for flavorings or preservation, "alkoholipõhistes" might be used descriptively. Understanding the surrounding words and the overall subject matter is key to accurately interpreting the meaning of "alkoholipõhistes."
