Plaanidest

Plaanidest is an Estonian noun form derived from the word plan (plaan). It is the elative plural form, used to express origin or reference in a context involving multiple plans. In practical terms, plaanidest can be translated roughly as “from the plans” or “concerning the plans,” depending on the verb or preposition governing the phrase. The corresponding forms for other cases and numbers are plaanid (nominative plural) and plaanide (genitive plural), while plaanidest marks the elative plural.

Morphology and use in sentences vary with context. The elative plural ending -idest indicates movement from or out of, or reference to a set of items, here the set being plans. Because Estonian relies on case endings to convey grammatical relations, plaanidest is chosen when the speaker wants to indicate origin, source material, or topic related to multiple plans.

In discourse, plaanidest appears in political, administrative, and business writing, especially when summarizing planning documents, evaluating proposals, or discussing outcomes tied to several plans. It is a standard grammatical form rather than a distinct lexical entry, so its meaning is determined by surrounding verbs and prepositions.
