Raportid

Raportid is the Estonian plural form of raport, meaning reports. In Estonian, a raport is a formal document that presents information, data, conclusions, or recommendations about a topic, typically prepared for decision makers or stakeholders. Raportid cover a range of forms, including research reports, financial reports, status or progress reports, incident reports, and policy briefings. The plural raportid refers to multiple such documents or to a compiled body of reports produced by an organization.

Etymology: The term raport is a loanword in Estonian, derived from the French rapport, likely through Germanic languages. Estonian forms the plural with the suffix -id, yielding raportid.

Usage: In everyday formal registers, aruanne is often used as a general word for "report," while raport emphasizes formal documents in technical, business, or governmental contexts. In practice, you may encounter terms such as finantsraportid (financial reports) or progress raportid. The style of raporte typically includes an executive summary, methodology, findings, and recommendations, though the exact structure varies by field and organization.
