Kodukataloogi

Kodukataloogi is the genitive singular form of the Estonian noun kodukataloog, meaning "home catalog" or "household catalog." The term denotes a catalog, published in print or online, that lists products intended for home use, such as furniture, textiles, kitchenware, or appliances. In usage, kodukataloogi appears in phrases referring to items within such a catalog or to the catalog itself, for example kodukataloogi lehekülg (the home catalog page) or kodukataloogi sisu (the content of the home catalog).

Etymology and morphology: The word is formed from koda-jo, combining kodu (home) and kataloog (catalog). The genitive singular is kodukataloogi; the nominative is kodukataloog. Like other Estonian compound nouns, it follows standard case inflection patterns, with kodukataloog as the base stem and the genitive ending -i added in this form. The term is primarily used in contexts related to retail, marketing, and publishing of catalogs aimed at households.

Usage notes: While traditionally linked to consumer catalogs, kodukataloog can be used more broadly to describe any catalog oriented toward home goods, whether in print or digital form. In contemporary Estonia, retailers may present a kodukataloogi online, as a digital catalog or a PDF, or refer to a printed kodukataloog mailed to customers.
