Alljärgnevad

The Estonian word "alljärgnevad" translates to "following" or "subsequent" in English. It is a plural form of the adjective "alljärgnev," which also means "following." This term is commonly used in written Estonian to introduce a list of items, points, or statements that will be presented immediately after the word itself.

For example, in a formal document or an explanation, one might find the phrase "Alljärgnevad punktid on tähtsad" which translates to "The following points are important." The word "alljärgnevad" serves to signal to the reader that a set of related information is about to be detailed. It is a grammatical marker that prepares the audience for the upcoming content.

The usage of "alljärgnevad" is not limited to formal contexts. It can appear in informal writing as well, though perhaps less frequently. Its core function remains consistent: to indicate a direct continuation of the text with a list or enumeration. The word itself is derived from "alla" (under/below) and "järgnev" (following), literally suggesting something that comes under or follows. This etymology reinforces its role in structuring information sequentially.
