Järgsetel

Järgsetel is an Estonian adjective form meaning following or subsequent, used to refer to items or points that come after something previously mentioned. It is most commonly encountered in formal, instructional, or enumerative text to point to what comes next in a sequence.

Morphology and usage notes: järgsetel is the plural adessive form of the adjective with a noun in plural. The corresponding singular form is järgsel (on the following). The base idea is to indicate that a particular element belongs to the set of items that follow a prior reference. The form follows typical Estonian agreement rules, matching the noun it modifies in number and case. Common collocations include järgeSetel päevadel (on the following days) and järgeSetel juhtudel (in the following cases).

Common contexts: järgsetel can appear in instructions, legal texts, academic writing, and lists where it is useful to distinguish between what has been stated and what comes next. It often appears together with phrases like “järgsetel päevadel,” “järgsetel juhtudel,” or “järgsetel lehtedel,” guiding the reader to the items or information that follow.

Examples:

- Palun uurige järgsetel lehtedel kirjapandu. (Please review what is written on the following pages.)

- Järgsetel juhtudel tuleb kasutada alternatiivset meetodit. (In the following cases, another method should be used.)

- Juhendi järgnevad punktid selgitavad täpsemalt järgnevat teavet järgsetel päevadel. (The subsequent points in the guide explain the information to follow on the subsequent days.)

Etymology: järge-set stems from the Estonian root järg- meaning to follow or succession, with standard adjective inflection endings to form järgset (base) and its plural adessive järgsetel.
