Saavutusi

Saavutusi is the Estonian partitive plural form of the noun saavutus, meaning achievements or accomplishments. The base word, saavutus, denotes something that has been achieved and is derived from the verb saavutama, to achieve or obtain. In Estonian, the nominative plural is saavutused, used when the achievements themselves are the subject of a sentence, while saavutus is singular. The form saavutusi is the partitive plural, used after quantifiers such as palju or after verbs that govern the partitive, as in palju saavutusi.

In everyday language, saavutusi is used to describe a person’s or organization’s track record. It appears in contexts such as education, sports, arts, science, and business. For example: Ta on saavutanud palju saavutusi. Tema CV-s on loetletud nii akadeemilised kui sportlikud saavutused. These usages illustrate how Estonian encodes quantity and focus through case and number on the noun, especially when talking about multiple accomplishments in general terms.

Etymologically, saavutus and its derivatives form part of a common Estonian vocabulary for performance and attainment. The concept is closely related to other terms for success and recognition, and is frequently found in biographical writing, evaluation metrics, and career summaries.
