Kasumeid

Kasumeid is the partitive plural form of the Estonian noun kasum, which means profit or gain. As a grammatical form, kasumeid is used when profits are referred to in an indefinite amount or as a portion of a larger financial result. In sentences, it typically functions as the object or predicative element and occurs in contexts such as “Meil on kasumeid” (We have profits) or “mitmeid kasumeid” (several profits).

The term is mainly encountered in business and financial writing, including reports and journalism, where profits are discussed without specifying an exact total. Kasum is the base noun; kasumeid is one of its inflected forms. The form follows standard Estonian noun declension patterns and is part of the regular financial vocabulary.

Usage notes: Kasumeid is used when the exact amount is unknown or not being stated, or when referring to multiple instances of profit across periods. For exact profits, the nominative plural kasumid may be used.
