Paksusega

Paksusega is the Estonian term used to express thickness in a way that identifies the thickness value of an object or material. It is commonly found in technical, engineering, and documentation contexts where precise specifications are required.

Linguistic and morphological notes: paksusega is formed from the noun paksus (thickness) in its genitive form paksuse, combined with the comitative suffix -ga to convey “with.” The resulting form is used to introduce a measurement of thickness, typically preceding a numerical value and unit.

Usage and context: The phrase is primarily used in formal or technical language, such as material specifications, engineering drawings, procurement documents, and quality control reports. It is not a casual everyday expression, but it is standard for indicating exact thickness in millimeters or other units. Common constructions include the combination with a numeral, for example, paksusega 2 mm or paksusega 0,5 mm, and can appear in phrases like “lainepapp on paksusega 3 mm” or “kile paksusega 0,1 mm.”

Examples:

- Materjal peab olema paksusega 2 mm.

- Kile paksusega 0,05 mm.

- Plaadid on saadaval paksustega 5 mm ja 10 mm.
