Diabeetilise

Diabeetilise is the genitive singular form of the Estonian adjective diabeetiline, meaning diabetic or diabetes-related. It is used to describe a noun when the noun appears in the genitive case, or in other contexts that require this inflected form. For example, phrases like diabeetilise inimese elu and diabeetilise haiguse ravi illustrate its function in indicating relationship to diabetes.

The base adjective diabeetiline is formed from the noun diabeet (diabetes) with the adjectival suffix -iline. Like other Estonian adjectives, diabeetiline agrees with its noun for number and case; the genitive singular form is diabeetilise, the partitive singular form is diabeetilist, and other cases have their own corresponding forms.

In usage, diabeetiliste forms appear frequently in medical, public health, and descriptive writing to discuss aspects related to diabetes. The term should be used in neutral, factual contexts. When referring to a person, the typical noun forms are diabeetiline inimene (a diabetic person) or the related noun diabeetik, with diabeetilise modifying other nouns as needed (for example diabeetilise inimese ravim, the medication of a diabetic person).
