Mitmekordne

Mitmekordne is a Estonian adjective meaning “multiple” or “manifold.” It describes something that occurs in several instances, has multiple parts, or is several times as large or extensive as another thing. The word is formed from mitme (several) and kord (time, occurrence) with the adjectival ending -ne, and it agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case.

In usage, mitmekordne expresses multiplicity or amplification. In everyday language it appears in phrases such as mitmekordne kordus (several repetitions), mitmekordne mõju (a multiplicative or greater effect), and mitmekordne arv (a multiple number). In scientific and mathematical contexts it denotes a multiplicative factor; for example, mitmekordne kasv means growth by a factor greater than one.

The related noun mitmekord means a multiple or multiplicity and is used in more formal or technical contexts. Adverbially, mitmekordselt means “several times” or “multiplicatively.”
