Eripärastest

Eripärastest is an Estonian term used in linguistic and formal writing to refer to actions, statements, or decisions that are justified by special or exceptional circumstances. The base element eripärast means “for special reasons” or “on account of special circumstances,” and eripärastest is a dependent form that appears in phrases to indicate the source or justification for something. In practice, it is most often found in legal, administrative, or academic texts where a deviation from standard rules needs to be explained.

In usage, eripärastest is typically attached to nouns to form expressions such as eripärastest põhjustest or eripärastest kaalutlustest, signaling the grounds for a particular course of action. For example, a sentence might read: Eripärastest põhjustest tulenevad piirangud kehtivad kuni uute reeglite jõustumiseni. The construction emphasizes that the cited grounds are special or exceptional rather than ordinary.

Relation to other terms: eripärastest is related to broader notions such as erand (an exception) and eripära (peculiarity or distinctive feature). The term is relatively formal and common in written, official, or scholarly Estonian. In everyday speech, speakers more often use phrases like erilistel põhjustel or erandkorras to express similar ideas.

Overall, eripärastest functions as a stylistic device in Estonian to attribute justification to exceptional circumstances, enabling clear communication about why standard procedures are altered or why particular decisions are warranted.
