Loomingulisi

Loomingulisi is an Estonian grammatical form derived from the adjective loominguline, meaning creative or artistic. It is not a standalone noun; rather, it is the partitive plural inflection used to modify nouns in the partitive case.

In context, loomingulisi appears in phrases such as loomingu lugu or creative works, where the object is treated as an indefinite quantity. Examples include loomingulisi ideid (creative ideas) and loomingulisi töid (creative works). When referring to people, the nominative plural would be loomingulised inimesed, while the partitive plural remains loomingulisi inimesi.

Usage and semantics: loomingulisi is commonly found in discussions about the creative sector, arts and culture, design, media, and related policy or academic writing. It helps describe the scope or quality of creative outputs without specifying a definite amount.

Related terms: loovus (creativity), loov tööstus or loov tööstus (creative industry), ja looming (creation or creation-based activity). These terms frequently appear together in analyses of cultural policy, education, and the economy of the arts.

Notes: Because loomingulisi is an inflected form, its exact meaning depends on the noun it modifies and the sentence’s case. It is typically contrasted with loomingulised (nominative plural) when the subject is definite and in the nominative.
