Koodide

Koodide is the Estonian genitive plural form of the noun kood, which translates to “code” in English. In standard usage it is not a standalone English word, but rather a grammatical form used in Estonian to indicate possession or association with codes, typically in plural contexts.

Etymology and form: The word Koodide is formed by adding the genitive plural suffix -ide to the root kood. As a result, it functions as the genitive plural of kood and is used in phrases such as “koodide tähendus” (the meaning of codes) or “koodide kogum” (a collection of codes).

Usage: In technical writing and everyday Estonian, koodide appears whenever multiple codes are referenced or when discussing coding concepts in the plural. It can label data encoding schemes, cryptographic keys, software identifiers, or any set of codes. For example, a phrase might describe “koodide vormindamine” (the formatting of codes) or “koodide analüüs” (analysis of codes).

Relation to related terms: The base noun kood denotes a single code, while koodid is the nominative plural (codes). The genitive plural koodide is used to show relation to codes within a sentence, in contrast to the singular or other plural forms.
