Keraamilisi

Keraamilisi is an Estonian adjective meaning ceramic or ceramic-related. It is formed from the noun keraamika (ceramics) with the suffix -lise to create a modifier describing materials, products, or properties connected with ceramics. The term is used across technical, design, and industrial contexts to indicate that something relates to ceramic materials or ceramic manufacture.

Linguistically, keraamika stems from the historical term for ceramics, with broader European influence, and keraamilisi functions as a standard Estonian adjective. It commonly appears in phrases such as keraamilised plaadid (ceramic tiles), keraamilised tööriistad (ceramic tools), or keraamiliste materjalide omadused (properties of ceramic materials).

In practice, the category covers both traditional pottery and modern advanced ceramics. Ceramic materials are noted for hardness, brittleness, high-temperature resistance, chemical inertness, and electrical insulation, which guides their use in tiling, tableware, electronics insulators, dental ceramics, and industrial components. The term helps distinguish ceramic materials and products from metals, polymers, or composites in technical writing and design discussions.
