Laienduste

Laienduste is the Estonian genitive plural form of the noun "laiendus", which translates to "extension" or "expansion" in English. As a grammatical form, it is used to indicate possession, quantity, or relation when referring to multiple extensions (for example, "laienduste mõju" meaning "the impact of the extensions").

The root word "laiendus" denotes an addition that increases scope, size, function or capacity. In everyday and technical usage it appears across several domains: in construction and architecture to describe building extensions, in information technology for software add-ons and browser extensions, in business for product or market expansions, and in academic or technical contexts for theoretical extensions of models or frameworks.

Morphologically, "laienduste" belongs to the third declension pattern typical of many Estonian nouns. Its nominative plural is "laiendused", genitive singular is "laienduse", and genitive plural is "laienduste". Context determines whether the term references physical structures, software modules, policy enlargements, or abstract conceptual extensions.

Usage examples often pair "laienduste" with words like "projekt", "paigaldus", "mõju" or "vajadus" to specify type and relation. For translation and interpretation, attention to context is important because the English equivalent "extensions" covers a broad set of meanings similar to the Estonian original.
