Käesolevaid

Käesolevaid is a declined form of the Estonian demonstrative determiner käesolev, used to refer to items that are present in the current document or discussion. It translates roughly as “these present” or “these current” and is typically employed in formal or written Estonian to point to specific elements under consideration.

Etymology and form: The word combines käes (here, at hand) with olev (the present participle of olema, to be), yielding a compound meaning related to things that pertain to the here and now. Käesolevaid is the plural partitive or accusative form used with a following plural noun, for example käesolevaid dokumente or käesolevaid küsimusi.

Usage: Käesolevaid appears almost exclusively in formal writing, official documents, academic articles, and legal texts. It accompanies a plural noun and signals that the referenced items are the ones currently under discussion or within the scope of the document. The corresponding singular forms include käesolev (nominative singular), käesoleva (genitive singular), and käesolevat (partitive singular). The related plural forms include käesolevad (nominative plural) and käesolevate (genitive plural).

Examples:

- Käesolevad punktid käsitlevad organisatsiooni tegevust.

- Käesolevaid andmeid ei tohi avaldada kolmandale osapoolele ilma loata.

- Käesolevat aruannet koostas töörühm.

Notes: Käesolevaid is not common in everyday speech, where pronouns like need or neid and simpler descriptors are often used instead. The form illustrates Estonian's system of demonstratives that agree with number, case, and definiteness in the sentence.
