Sissejuhatuses

Sissejuhatuses is an Estonian grammatical form derived from the noun sissejuhatus, meaning “introduction.” It is used to indicate a location within the introductory part of a text, such as a scholarly article or report. The form combines the base word with a suffix that marks a locative or inessive relation, and it commonly translates to “in the introduction” or “in the introductions” in English, depending on number and context.

The root sissejuhatus comes from the combination of sisse- (into, intowards) and juhatus (leading, guidance, or introduction). As a sentence element, sissejuhatuses appears when the writer refers to content contained within the introduction, such as background information, the statement of the problem, or the aim of the study that is presented in that section.

Usage and examples:

- Sissejuhatuses on kirjeldatud uurimuse eesmärk ja ulatus. (In the introduction, the aim and scope of the study are described.)

- Sissejuhatuses käsitletakse teemat ajaloolises kontekstis. (In the introduction, the topic is discussed in a historical context.)

The form is most commonly found in academic writing and documents that organize content by clearly defined sections. It functions as a precise cross-reference to material located within the introductory portion of a text.
