Prepositsioonilisi

Prepositsioonilisi is a term related to the grammatical category of prepositions in Estonian. While not a standard grammatical term in Estonian linguistics, it likely refers to words or phrases that function similarly to prepositions, indicating the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence. In Estonian, these relationships are often expressed through case endings attached to nouns rather than separate prepositional words as seen in some other languages. However, some words do exist that function as postpositions or adpositions, appearing after the noun they modify. These postpositions, like 'kohta' (about) or 'poolt' (by), can be considered analogous to prepositions in terms of their semantic function, even if their positional placement differs. The exact meaning and usage of 'prepositsioonilisi' would depend on the specific context in which it is used, but it generally pertains to the grammatical expressions of spatial, temporal, or logical relationships within a sentence, particularly when considering how these relationships are handled in Estonian grammar.
