Kontaktideks

Kontaktideks is a term used in Estonian-language texts to denote something that is intended to serve as a contact point or contact information. It is most often encountered on websites, forms, and manuals as a label indicating the purpose of data collected or the person to be contacted. In practice, a section or field group labeled “Kontaktideks” would typically contain or designate contact details such as name, phone number, email address, and preferred communication channel, or designate the person responsible for receiving inquiries.

Etymology and form: The word is derived from the noun kontakt (contact) with the suffix -ideks, which in Estonian is used to form nouns that express function or intended use. The exact interpretation of “Kontaktideks” can vary by context, and in some settings it may be used synonymously with “kontakt” or with more specific terms like “kontaktandmed” (contact details). It is more common in formal or technical language than in everyday speech.

Usage and examples: On a corporate website, a navigation item titled “Kontaktideks” might lead to a page listing contact persons, inquiry channels, and office hours. In a form, a field group labeled “Kontaktideks” indicates where a user should provide data for future correspondence or for a designated contact point.
