Staatilistest

Staatilistest is an Estonian inflected form of the adjective meaning “statistical.” It appears in phrases where the adjective accompanies a plural noun in the elative or other cases, and it is most commonly encountered in contexts related to data and statistics. In practice, staatilistest often translates to “from statistical” or “of statistical” depending on the grammatical role of the accompanying noun.

In standard Estonian, words derived from statistics, such as statistiline or statistika, are adapted to the noun they modify through the language’s case and number system. Staatilistest represents one such inflected form used with plural nouns in cases that express source or part of something, for example with data or studies. The form is frequent in academic, governmental, and research writing.
