Külastusi

Külastusi is the partitive plural form of the Estonian noun külastus, which means a visit or visits. The word külastus is derived from the verb külastama, meaning to visit, and it is used to describe acts of visiting people, places, events or institutions. In everyday language, külastus can refer to a single visit or to visits in general, while külastusi specifically marks an indefinite or plural quantity.

Grammatical forms and usage: külastus has several common forms, including nominative singular külastus, partitive singular külastust, nominative plural külastused, genitive plural külastuste, and partitive plural külastusi. The form külastusi is typically used to indicate multiple visits in a non-specific sense or after numerals and quantifiers that require the partitive case, for example in phrases like mitmeid külastusi or palju külastusi.

Contexts and examples: külastusi appears in a variety of contexts, such as tourism (museum visits, sightseeing), social interactions (visiting friends or relatives), and formal communications (reports on the number of visits to an institution). It is often contrasted with külastamine, the noun for the act or process of visiting, and with külastaja, meaning a visitor. A typical sentence might indicate that there were several visits in a given period, for example: meil on toimunud mitmeid külastusi viimase kuu jooksul.
