Näitajateid

Näitajateid is an Estonian noun form that reflects the plural of näitaja (indicator, sign) in a specific grammatical case. In common usage näitajad denotes indicators or metrics, and näitajateid is the partitive plural form used when the indicators are the indefinite object of the sentence or part of a larger set being discussed. The term can refer to any measures or signals used to describe a state, performance or condition.

In statistics, business, science and everyday reporting, näitajad are the measures looked at to assess outcomes or conditions. Common examples include financial indicators such as revenue or profit, performance indicators (KPIs) and health or environmental indicators. The form näitajateid appears in sentences like “Uuringus vaadeldi näitajateid nagu kasum, müük ja turuosa” or “Andmed sisaldasid näitajateid.” The plural partitive is chosen to express an indefinite quantity or to emphasize the set of indicators rather than individual items.

Etymology and grammar: näitajateid is derived from näitaja (indicator) with the plural suffix -ad and the partitive plural ending -id, used in contexts where the object is not a definite whole or is part of a larger collection. This pattern is typical for Estonian nouns in partitive constructions with plural meanings.

See also: näitajad, näitaja, mõõdik, KPI, tulemusnäitajad, indikaator.

In summary, näitajateid is the grammatical form used to refer to indicators in the partitive plural, enabling reference to multiple metrics within a dataset, analysis, or report in Estonian prose.
