Märkus

märkus is a term that can refer to several different concepts, primarily in the Estonian language. The most common usage of "märkus" translates to "note" or "remark" in English. It is used in everyday conversation to indicate a brief observation, a comment, or a piece of information that is being pointed out. For example, someone might make a "märkus" about the weather or leave a written "märkus" as a reminder.

In a more formal context, "märkus" can also denote a footnote or an annotation in a text. These are typically placed at the bottom of a page or at the end of a document to provide additional explanation, clarification, or source citation. This usage is common in academic writing and scholarly works.

The word also appears in specific technical or legal contexts where it might carry a more specialized meaning. However, without further context, "märkus" generally implies a brief statement or piece of information added for clarity or comment. The grammatical form can also vary depending on its function within a sentence.
