Hinnanguteks

Hinnanguteks is an Estonian grammatical form used to express that something is intended for evaluation or to function as an evaluation. It specifically denotes the translative plural form of the noun hinnang, conveying the idea of “for evaluations” or “as evaluations.” The form is most often encountered in formal or administrative language, where documents, materials, or procedures are designated for assessment purposes.

In usage, hinnanguteks marks the role or purpose of an item within a context of evaluation. It can appear in official rubrics, reporting frameworks, or policy texts when multiple elements are identified as being used for evaluation. The translative plural typically aligns with phrases that describe objects, documents, or datasets that will be considered or used in the evaluation process.

Examples of typical usage include references to materials or data prepared “hinnanguteks” for a committee or evaluation panel, and sentences describing methodological steps that will be applied “hinnanguteks.” Because it is a specialized grammatical form, hinnanguteks is relatively common in formal Estonian rather than everyday speech.
