Pliidide

Pliidide is the genitive plural form of the Estonian noun pliit, which means a stove or cooker. The nominative plural of the word is pliidid, so pliidide is used when the noun is in the genitive case and refers to more than one stove.

Morphology and form: The base stem is pliid-, with singular genitive pliidi and plural genitive pliidide. This pattern—replacing the plural nominative ending -id with -ide in the genitive plural—is common for many Estonian nouns that form their plural with -id.

Usage: Pliidide is used to indicate possession or attribution related to stoves, or in phrases where the noun is governed by another word in the genitive or by numerals and quantifiers. Examples include phrases like pliidide hind (the price of stoves), pliidide paigaldus (the installation of stoves), and pliidide energiatõhusus (the energy efficiency of stoves).

Examples:

- Pliidide hind on tõusnud. The price of stoves has risen.

- Pliidide paigaldus võtab aega. The installation of stoves takes time.

- Pliidide energiatõhusus on kõrge. The energy efficiency of stoves is high.

Notes: Pliidide form follows standard Estonian genitive plural formation rules for nouns ending in -id. The term is primarily used in everyday Estonian to discuss multiple stoves in contexts such as pricing, installation, or specifications.
