Postituse

Postituse is the genitive singular form of the Estonian noun postitus, which refers to a post or publication published on a digital platform such as a social network, blog, or forum. In everyday usage, postitus denotes the item itself, while postituse is used to indicate possession or association, as in postituse sisu (the content of the post) or postituse kuupäev (the posting date).

Usage and scope: In online communication, posts vary in length, format, and media (text, images, or video). The term postitus is common in discussions of social media, blogging, and community forums, where it functions as a unit of information that can be created, shared, liked, commented on, and archived. Analyses of online discourse may examine postituse visibility, engagement, and authorship.

Language notes: While postitus is Estonian, similar concepts exist in other languages with equivalent terms in their own genitive forms. In translation, postituse is typically rendered as “the post” or “of the post” in English, depending on grammatical context.
