Korrigeeringute

Korrigeeringute is the genitive plural form of korrigeering, a noun in Estonian that denotes corrections, amendments, or adjustments. The term is used to refer to multiple corrective actions carried out to a text, a data set, a system, or a process. In everyday language korrigeering is less common than korrigeerimine, which more often conveys the general act of correcting.

Etymology and form: korrigeering derives from the verb korrigeerima (to correct), which in turn comes from the German korrigieren and ultimately from the Latin corrigere. The plural genitive form korrigeeringute is used when describing “of the corrections” or “corrections to” something, as in phrases like korrigeeringute tegemine or korrigeeringute mõju.

Usage and contexts: The term appears in formal or technical language across several fields. In publishing and editing, korrigeeringute refer to corrections made to a manuscript or document. In data management and statistics, korrigeeringute can denote corrections applied to data entries or calculations. In accounting or auditing, korrigeeringud or korrigeeringute tegemine describe adjustments to financial records. Although widely understood among speakers, korrigeeringute is more common in written, professional, or academic contexts; everyday speech often uses synonyms such as parandused or korrigeerimised.

Related terms: korrigeering (singular), korrigeerimine (the act of correcting), parandused (corrections, fixes). The concept is closely linked to editing, quality control, and data integrity, where documenting and communicating what was corrected is an important practice.
