Menetluslikke

Menetluslikke is an Estonian adjective form meaning related to a procedure or proceedings. It is used primarily in legal, administrative, and formal texts to describe aspects of the conduct of a process, such as court proceedings or administrative reviews. The base is the noun menetlus (procedure, proceeding), combined with the suffix -lik to form the adjective menetluslik. The form menetluslikke is the inflected plural form used before plural nouns in cases such as partitive or genitive plural.

Usage examples include menetluslikke toiminguid (procedural actions), menetluslikke reegleid (procedural rules), and menetluslikke küsimusi (procedural questions). In law, the term helps distinguish procedural matters from substantive ones, which are typically described with terms related to substance rather than process. The related noun is menetlusõigus (procedural law).

Notes on grammar: Estonian adjectives decline to agree with the noun they modify, and menetluslikke is the plural form used in appropriate case contexts. The term is common in formal legal writing and official documents, but less common in everyday speech outside professional contexts.
