Ehituslikust

Ehituslikust is an Estonian term used as the genitive singular form of the adjective ehituslik, meaning construction-related or structural. The base word ehitus denotes building or construction, and the suffix -lik forms an adjective that describes relation to construction or structure. The form ehituslikust occurs in phrases where the related noun is in genitive or in fixed expressions, reflecting a constructional or contextual relationship.

Etymology and grammar: ehituslik originates from ehitus plus the adjectival suffix -lik. As with Estonian adjectives, ehituslik agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case, so ehituslikust signals a link to construction or structure in contexts such as “of construction” or “in a constructional context.” The related abstract noun is ehituslikkus, meaning the quality of being constructional or structural.

Usage: The term is common in architecture, civil engineering, and related design discourse to describe features connected with construction or structure. It can also appear in more abstract discussions to indicate the constructional aspect of a system, a plan, or a text. Examples include phrases like ehituslikud omadused (constructional properties) and ehituslik kontekst (a construction-related context). In practice, ehituslikust and its related forms are used to specify the structural or build-related perspective in a discussion.
