Saadetise

Saadetise is the genitive singular form of the Estonian noun saadetis, which refers to a shipment or consignment of goods that has been sent or is being sent to a recipient. The term is commonly used in logistics, shipping, and postal contexts to denote either the shipment as a whole or the contents of a shipment when described in possessive or descriptive phrases.

Etymology and forms: Saadetis derives from the verb saata, meaning “to send.” The genitive singular saadetise is used to express “of the shipment” and appears in phrases such as saadetise number (shipment number), saadetise jälgimine (tracking of the shipment), saadetise sisu (contents of the shipment), and saadetise sihtkoht (destination of the shipment). The plural nominative saadetised refers to shipments in general, while the genitive plural saadetiste is used for “of the shipments.”

Usage: In practice, saadetise can refer to a single parcel or a group of goods sent under one dispatch, depending on the shipping arrangement. It is a common term in Estonian e-commerce, freight, and postal documentation. The national postal operator Omniva and courier services frequently use the word in labeling and tracking interfaces.
