Kuulutusteks

Kuulutusteks is the translative plural form of the Estonian noun kuulutus, meaning notice or advertisement. It expresses function or designation, roughly translating to “for notices” or “as notices.” The corresponding singular form is kuulutuseks, while the plural form denotes multiple notices in a functional sense.

Morphology and usage: In Estonian, the translative case marks a change of state or a role. Kuulutusteks is used to designate what something is used for or what it is to be considered. It commonly appears in headings, labels, or sentences that describe the purpose of a collection, section, or document. For example, a section label might read: See rubriik on mõeldud kuulutusteks (This section is intended for notices).

Examples:

- See rubriik on mõeldud kuulutusteks.

- Dokumentide ja failide jaotuses on küllaldane ruum kuulutusteks, mitte teavitusteks.

Relation to related terms: Kuulutus refers to a notice or advertisement itself, while kuulutusteks conveys its use or role in a broader context. The form is primarily found in formal or institutional language, such as government portals, registries, or official announcements.

Notes: Kuulutusteks is a grammatical development typical of Estonian’s translative plural, and its usage depends on the context where a label, category, or function is described as applying “for notices” or “as notices.” It is less common in everyday informal speech, where simpler phrases like “kuulutused” (notices) or “kuulutustena” might be preferred.
