Järjestusteks

Järjestusteks is the translative plural form of the Estonian noun järjestus, meaning order, arrangement, or sequence. It is used to express designation as or transformation into different orders or categories. The form appears in formal or administrative language and in linguistic discussions when talking about classifying items into distinct groups.

Morphology and formation: Järjestusteks is created by adding the translative plural suffix -teks to the stem järjestus-, yielding a form that designates something as or into various orders or categories. The translative case communicates a change of state or designation, while the plural marks the reference to multiple orders or categories.

Usage and nuance: The translative plural is used when items are being described as belonging to or being regarded as particular kinds of orders or categories. It often appears in contexts involving classification, sorting, or labeling within processes, analyses, or documentation. The term is most common in formal Finnish-language or Estonian-language documentation that discusses organizational schemes or methodological categorization.

Examples:

- Dokumendid jaotati järjestusteks vastavalt teemadele. (The documents were divided into orders/categories according to topics.)

- Andmebaasi järjestusteks korraldamine aitab eristada erinevaid andmekogumeid. (Organizing the database into orders/categories helps distinguish different data sets.)
