Näidete

Näidete is the genitive plural form of the Estonian noun näide, which means "example" or "illustration." In Estonian grammar, this form is used to indicate possession or association with multiple examples, equivalent to "of the examples" in English. The phrase näidete kogumik translates as "a collection of examples," and näidete arv as "the number of examples." The nominative plural of näide is näited, which is used when the word functions as the subject of a sentence.

Näidete commonly appears in academic, instructional, and data-analytic contexts where examples are cited or referenced. It can occur in compound noun phrases and titles, as well as in sentences describing sets, series, or selections of examples. For instance, a worksheet might present "näidete seeria" (a series of examples) to illustrate a concept.
