Sihtpunktides

Sihtpunktides is an Estonian linguistic form derived from the noun sihtpunkt, meaning destination, target point, or waypoint. It denotes location within multiple target points and is used to refer to data or phenomena that are located “in” several such points. The expression occurs mainly in technical, navigational, or spatial analysis contexts, such as route planning, mapping, logistics, and sensor networks.

Origin and formation: The form is created by applying standard Estonian plural and locative endings to the base sihtpunkt. In discourse, it appears as the plural locative form indicating placement inside the listed points. Because it is a specialized, domain‑specific form, it tends to appear in written technical texts rather than everyday speech.

Usage: Sihtpunktides is most common in texts that describe measurements, observations, or operations distributed across several destinations or waypoints. It often appears in fields such as geography, cartography, transport planning, and data visualization, where information is organized by targets or endpoints.

Related terms: The singular form is sihtpunkt, and related concepts include sihtkoht (destination) and other location-based terms in Estonian. Understanding sihtpunktides benefits from familiarity with Estonian pluralization and case forms in technical writing.
