Kõnesarjast

Kõnesarjast is the genitive singular form of the Estonian compound noun Kõnesari, which translates roughly to "speech series" or "series of speeches." The form is used in written Estonian to indicate origin or association with a larger sequence of speeches, lectures, or oral presentations. In many contexts it serves to specify that a portion, excerpt, or component comes from that series.

Etymology and morphology: Kõnesari combines the words for "speech" (kõne) and "series" (sari). The suffix -st marks the genitive singular, signaling possession or source, as in “something from the speech series.” This grammatical form is common in academic, journalistic, and archival language when referencing parts of a larger collection.

Usage: In practice, Kõnesarjast is found in descriptions, bibliographies, and catalog entries to denote material drawn from a larger set of speeches. It can function as a modifier or a complement in noun phrases, for example in phrases that denote excerpts, selections, or references drawn from a specific speech series.

Example: Kõnesarjast võetud lõigud võivad kajastada kõne esitajate peamisi argumente. Translation: Excerpts from the speech series may reflect the main arguments of the speakers.
