Lõplikust

Lõplikust is the elative singular form of the Estonian adjective lõplik, meaning final or definitive. In Estonian grammar, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in case, number, and definiteness. When the noun is in the elative case, the adjective takes the elative ending, resulting in lõplikust.

Lõplikust otsusest lähtudes RC: This construction is used to indicate that actions are taken based on the final decision. For example: Lõplikust otsusest lähtudes koostati raport. This means “the report was prepared based on the final decision.” Another common usage is to describe dependence on the final decision: Lõplikust otsusest sõltuvad järgmised sammud, meaning “the next steps depend on the final decision.”

In Estonian, the elative form provides a way to express sources, origins, or basis for actions. Thus, lõplikust is not a standalone lexical item but a grammatical form that appears before a noun in the elative case, most often with nouns like otsus (decision) or others that are in the same case.

Related forms include the nominative lõplik otsus (the final decision), the genitive lõpliku otsuse (of the final decision), and the partitive lõplikku otsust (a final decision, in partitive usage). Understanding lõplikust requires recognizing it as the elative form of lõplik used to convey “from the final …” or “based on the final …” in formal or written Estonian.
