Hooldusest

Hooldusest is the elative case form of the Estonian noun hooldus, meaning maintenance, care, or servicing. In grammar, the elative case expresses origin, source, or basis and is used in formal or technical language to indicate that something arises from or is related to the referenced noun. Hooldusest is commonly found in accounting, project planning, regulatory texts, and risk assessments to denote costs, requirements, or effects stemming from maintenance activities.

Usage and meaning: The phrase hooldusest tulenevad kulud translates as “costs arising from maintenance.” Hooldusest can also modify nouns in constructions such as hooldusest tingitud riskid (“risks arising from maintenance”) or serve as a source marker in reports and budgets. The form follows standard Estonian grammar rules for elative forms and agrees with the rest of the sentence as required.

Examples: Hooldusest tulenevad kulud tuleb eelarvesse arvestada. Raport analüüsib hooldusest tulenevaid riske. These sentences illustrate how the elative form signals that the referenced phenomena originate in maintenance activities.

Notes: The elative suffix -st is used with many Estonian nouns to indicate origin or basis. The use of hooldusest is appropriate in contexts where maintenance is the relevant source, such as technical, financial, or regulatory documents. In everyday speech, alternatives like hooldusega seotud may express a related or connected idea without specifying origin. See also hooldus (maintenance) and elative case.
