Ingliskeelse

Ingliskeelse is a declined form of an Estonian adjective meaning "English-language" or "English-speaking". It is the genitive singular of ingliskeelne, which itself is formed from inglise ("English") + keel ("language") + the adjective suffix -ne. As a grammatical form, ingliskeelse appears when the adjective agrees with a noun in genitive singular or in other contexts that require the same case.

The term is used to describe media, texts, instruction, or other items that are in English: for example, ingliskeelse raamatu pealkiri ("the title of the English-language book") or ingliskeelse teksti tõlkimine ("translation of an English-language text"). It contrasts with the adverbial expression inglise keeles, which means "in English" and is used when indicating the language in which something is spoken or written.

In usage, speakers choose between ingliskeelne and its declined forms according to Estonian case and number rules; the base form (nominative singular) is ingliskeelne, while plural and other cases have their own endings (e.g., ingliskeelsed for nominative plural). The word appears frequently in library catalogs, curricula, media descriptions and linguistic discussions to mark content as produced in or intended for the English language.
