Meeldimisi

Meeldimisi is an Estonian noun that denotes the concept or act of liking something. It is derived from the verb meeldima, which means to like or to please, and belongs to the class of nominalizations used to express an abstract notion rather than a specific instance of approval. In everyday speech, the verb form meeldib is used to say that something pleases someone, while meeldimine and related forms are more often found in discussions of the act or quality of liking in a general sense. Meeldimisi, when it appears, is typically encountered in linguistic or academic contexts rather than in casual conversation.

In linguistic use, meeldimisi functions as a generic noun for liking or preference. It may appear in analyses of attitudes, consumer behavior, or social phenomena where researchers discuss the concept of approval or attraction in a broad sense. The exact inflection of meeldimisi follows standard Estonian noun patterns, with case endings determined by its syntactic role in a sentence. Because it is not a common everyday term, its appearance is more frequent in descriptive or theoretical texts than in colloquial Estonian.

Related terms include meeldima (to like), meeldib (it likes / it is pleasing), and meeldimine (the act of liking). Meeldimisi serves as a less common, scholarly form used to reference the general notion of liking within linguistic or cultural studies.
