Lehekülgede

Lehekülgede is the genitive plural form of the Estonian noun lehekülg, which means page. In Estonian grammar, lehekülgede is used in phrases that relate to pages in a possessive or quantitative sense, and it appears as part of compound noun phrases rather than as a standalone plural noun.

The form is typically used to describe or count pages in relation to another noun. Common uses include combining with words that indicate a quantity or collection, such as arv (number) or nimekiri (list): for example, raamatu lehekülgede arv means the number of pages in a book, and lehekülgede nimekiri means a list of pages. In these constructions, lehekülgede functions to indicate that the characterized item pertains to pages.

Etymology and grammar: lehekülgede is formed from lehekülg (page) plus the Estonian genitive plural suffix -de. It follows regular Estonian patterns for creating genitive plural forms and is part of the broader system of noun phrases where the genitive marks close association or measurement with another element in the sentence.

Note: As a genitive plural, lehekülgede does not stand alone as an object of action; it typically modifies another noun or participates in a possession or measurement expression describing pages.
