Kogemuslikke

Kogemuslikke is an Estonian adjective form meaning experiential or based on experience. It is derived from the noun kogemus (experience) with the suffix -lik, which creates adjectives describing a quality or relation. The form kogemuslikke appears in inflected usage when the accompanying noun is plural and in the partitive case or other non-nominative forms, for example kogemuslikke meetodeid (experiential methods) or kogemuslikke andmeid (experiential data).

In use, kogemuslikke describes elements tied to practical experience, observation, or learning from real-world situations rather than theory alone. The term is common in education, psychology, and research contexts, where it helps distinguish approaches, data, or results grounded in actual experience. The related noun form kogemuslik is often paired with nouns such as meetodid, andmed, or õppimine to convey concepts like experiential methods, experiential data, or experiential learning.

Examples of typical phrases include kogemuslikke meetodeid, kogemuslikke andmeid, and kogemuslikku õppimist, depending on grammatical agreement with the associated noun. While the core idea is consistent—emphasizing experience-based understanding—the exact inflected form kogemuslikke is used specifically in plural, non-nominative constructions. The term complements other Estonian descriptors such as teoreetiline (theoretical) by highlighting knowledge gained through experience.
