Juhisteks

Juhisteks is an Estonian word form used to express “as guidelines” or “into guidelines.” It is a translative form applied to the noun juhis (instruction, guideline) or its plural juhised. In Estonian, the translative case indicates a change of state or function, often translating to “as” or “into” in English. Juhisteks therefore denotes that something is designated to function as guidelines or is being transformed into guidelines, typically in reference to multiple instructions or a set of guidelines.

Morphology and usage context are important. The base noun juhis yields different forms for different grammatical needs, and juhisteks specifically marks a role or purpose in the translative sense. This form is most common in formal, technical, or policy-related writing when describing how certain materials should be used or interpreted “as guidelines.”

Examples illustrate typical use. For instance, “Need selgitused võivad saada juhisteks kasutusjuhendis” can be read as “These explanations may become guidelines in the user manual.” Another example: “Protseduurid võivad saada juhisteks, mida järgida projekti teostamisel,” meaning “The procedures may become guidelines to follow during project execution.” A third usage might be “dokumentatsioon muudetakse juhisteks,” “the documentation is changed into guidelines.”

Overall, juhisteks is a specialized grammatical form rather than a standalone concept. It appears mainly in formal or technical Estonian, where it signals that something is designated as guidelines or transformed into a guideline set.
