Käskudest

Käskudest is an Estonian oblique form derived from the noun käsk, which means "command" or "order". In everyday use it functions to indicate origin, source or topic when discussing multiple commands — for example, when referring to information "about commands" or "from the commands" in a sentence.

The term appears in contexts that address instructions, directives or authoritative orders: military and administrative texts, legal and workplace regulations, technical manuals, and discussions of moral or religious injunctions. As a grammatical form, it helps link the noun to verbs and prepositions that express motion away from, commentary on, or extraction of content from a set of commands.

Etymologically käsk belongs to the Finno-Ugric vocabulary and has a clear cognate in Finnish (käsky), reflecting a common regional semantic field around giving orders and issuing instructions. Usage examples may range from practical phrases about following instructions to analytical phrases in linguistic or cultural studies that examine how commands are framed and enacted in society.

Because it is a case-inflected form rather than a standalone lexical head, its precise meaning depends on syntactic context and the verb or preposition with which it is used.
