Laadidest

Laadidest is the Estonian elative plural form of the noun laad, which generally means load or cargo. It is used to indicate origin or to mark the topic of discussion related to loads.

Morphology and formation: The base noun laad forms the plural as laadid. The genitive plural is laadide, and the elative plural, which conveys "from the loads" or "about the loads" depending on the context, is laadidest. The form is typical for Estonian nouns with a similar stem and follows the language’s system of case endings used for plural references.

Usage: Laadidest appears in sentences where the speaker is referring to loads in an origin sense or as the topic of discussion. It is common in logistics, shipping, inventory discussions, and linguistic explanations of Estonian grammar. In practice, it can mean “from the loads” when describing origin or movement, or “about the loads” when used with verbs that govern the elative case, such as rääkima (to talk about) or arutlema (to discuss).

Examples:

- Rääkisime laadidest. (We talked about the loads.)

- Laadidest pärinevad andmed näitavad varude liikumist. (The data from the loads show the movement of stocks.)

See also: Related forms include laad ( singular), laadid (nominative plural), and laadide (genitive plural). The elative plural laadidest is one of several Estonian plural cases used to convey relationships of origin, topic, or source in plural references.
