Intsidendi

Intsidendi is the genitive singular form of the Estonian noun intsident, meaning an incident or event. It is used in Estonian to express possession or association with an incident, roughly comparable to the English phrase “of the incident.” The word intsident itself is a loanword adopted from English, and the genitive form intsidendi follows standard Estonian inflection patterns to link the noun to other words in a phrase.

In practice, intsidendi appears in technical, legal, and journalistic writing to describe relations to a particular event. For example, it can introduce phrases that indicate what happened during or because of the incident, or what information pertains to the incident in reports and analyses. The use of the genitive form helps specify scope and attribution, such as descriptions, investigations, or records related to a specific occurrence.

Overall, intsidendi functions as a valuable linking form in Estonian for precisely identifying and describing aspects tied to a stated incident, whether in official reports, news coverage, or scholarly discussions. It reflects the broader tendency in Estonian to use noun phrases that attach to a governing noun via genitive or other cases to convey relationship and attribution.
