Pildide

Pildide is the genitive plural form of the Estonian noun pilt, which means image or picture. In Estonian grammar, the genitive plural is used to indicate possession or association, and to form noun phrases where the first noun describes a relation to the second noun.

In practical use, pildide is employed to describe qualities or attributes of multiple pictures, or to indicate a relationship between pictures and another noun. For example, Pildide kvaliteet on oluline translates to “The quality of the pictures is important.” Pildide kogum can be used to mean “a collection of pictures” when pildide modifies the head noun kogum or is part of a compound phrase. The form also appears in contexts such as pildide arhiiv or pildide nimekiri, where the genitive plural signals a plural set of images.

Morphology and related forms: pilt is the base noun; related forms include pildi (genitive singular), pilti (partitive singular), pildid (nominative plural), piltide (genitive plural), and pilte (partitive plural). The choice among these forms follows standard Estonian noun declension patterns and reflects grammatical function rather than semantic change.
