Grammatilisel

Grammatilisel is the Estonian adessive singular inflection of the adjective grammatiline, meaning "grammatical." In linguistic writing and grammar descriptions, grammatilisel is used to refer to aspects related to grammar or to indicate the manner in which something is done according to grammatical rules.

Form and usage in Estonian grammar: The form is created from the stem grammatiline- with the adessive suffix -sel, yielding grammatilisel. It appears in noun phrases in the adessive case to express phrases such as "in a grammatical way" or "at the grammatical level." Common collocations include grammatilisel viisil ("in a grammatical manner") and grammatilisel tasandil ("at the grammatical level"). The construction is primarily a product of Estonian inflection and is most frequently encountered in descriptive linguistics, language pedagogy, and grammar discussions.

Scope and context: Grammatilisel is a specialized form used mainly within scholarly or didactic contexts to discuss how rules are applied or to qualify statements about grammar. It is not a generic everyday term outside formal descriptions of language. The lemma behind grammatilisel is grammatiline, and other inflected forms of the same adjective are used across different cases and numbers in Estonian sentences.
