Morfoloogilises

Morfoloogilises is an Estonian adjective form meaning morphologi­cal, and it is the inessive singular form of the base adjective morfoloogiline. It is used to describe things that relate to morphology, the study of the structure and formation of words.

In practice, morfoloogilises appears in phrases such as morfoloogilises kontekstis (in a morphological context), morfoloogilises vaates (from a morphological perspective), or morfoloogilises analüüsis (in a morphological analysis). The form signals that the noun it modifies is being considered within the domain of morphology rather than in a physical or other abstract sense. Because Estonian adjectives agree with their nouns in case and number, the exact ending will vary with the grammatical form of the noun they accompany.

The word is commonly used in linguistic and educational texts, particularly in discussions of word formation, inflection, and grammatical analysis. It can be contrasted with terms like fonoloogiline (phonological) or semantiline (semantic), each pointing to a different layer of linguistic structure.

Derivation is straightforward: morfoloogiline is formed from morfoloogia (morphology) plus the adjective suffix -iline. Other inflected forms include morfoloogilise (genitive singular), morfoloogilises (inessive singular, used in many clauses), and morfoloogiliste (genitive/plural forms), reflecting standard Estonian adjective declension. Overall, morfoloogilises is a neutral, technical term used to situate statements within the field of morphology.
