Esemelisteks

Esemelisteks is an Estonian term that can be understood as a mode or form of presenting data as an itemized list rather than in other layouts such as grids or galleries. The word appears to be a compound formed from eseme, meaning item or object, in its genitive form, and the translative suffix -eks, which in Estonian conveys meaning “as” or “into.” Put simply, esemelisteks can be read as “as a list of items.”

In practice, esemelisteks is not a widely standardized term in dictionaries and is mainly found in technical or user interface contexts. It may serve as a label, option, or data-shaping instruction within software, data schemas, or documentation to indicate that content should be displayed, exported, or stored in an itemized list form. Because it is not a canonical term, its precise interpretation can vary by context, with some speakers understanding it as “display as a list of items” and others as a directive for converting data into a list structure.

Examples of usage include: “Kuva tulemused esemelisteks” (Show results as a list of items) and “Valige esemelisteks kuvamise režiim” (Choose the display mode to show as a list of items). Related Estonian terms include esemed (items), loetelu or loend (lists), which describe more general list concepts. Esemelisteks thus functions mainly as a descriptive or applicative phrase rather than a standard linguistic category.
