Igasugustes

Igasugustes is a grammatical form in Estonian used to express the idea of “in all kinds of” when describing plural nouns. It is the inessive plural form of the adjective igasugune, which means various or different. The form is typically used to characterize a wide range of conditions, situations, or contexts within a sentence.

In usage, igasugustes appears before a plural noun and agrees with it in number and case. It is common in descriptive or evaluative prose, where the writer wishes to emphasize diversity or variety. For example, phrases such as igasugustes tingimustes (in all kinds of conditions) and igasugustes olukordades (in all kinds of situations) illustrate its role in broadening the scope of the described noun.

Grammatical notes about igasugustes include its place in agreement with plural nouns in the inessive case. It functions as a degree-modifier within noun phrases and does not stand alone as a predicate adjective. Its use tends to be more frequent in formal, literary, or explanatory writing, where nuance about variety is important.
