Analüütilisi

Analüütilisi is the partitive plural form of the Estonian adjective analüütiline, meaning analytical or related to analysis. It is used to describe nouns in the partitive case, which often signals an indefinite amount or a portion of something.

Etymology and form: The form is derived from the noun analüüs (analysis) with the typical adjective suffix -tiline. When the noun it modifies is in the partitive plural, the adjective takes the ending -isi, yielding analüütilisi. This pattern is common in Estonian, where adjectives agree with the noun in case and number.

Usage: Analüütilisi appears mainly in scientific, academic, and data-related language. It commonly accompanies nouns in the partitive case, such as metoodid (methods), andmed (data), or tööriistad (tools) to express attributes related to analysis or analytical processes.

Examples:

- Laboris kasutatakse mitmeid analüütilisi meetodeid. (The lab uses several analytical methods.)

- Koguti analüütilisi andmeid uuringu jaoks. (Analytical data were collected for the study.)

See also: Analüüs, analüütiline, partitiiv. The word functions as a grammatical form rather than a standalone concept, but it is a useful marker of how Estonian expresses analysis-related attributes in the partitive construction.
