Staatuseid

Staatuseid is an Estonian noun form meaning “statuses” or “state conditions.” It is the partitive plural form of staatus, a term used to describe a condition, position, or legal status of a person, organization, or object. Staatus is a loanword from Latin status, introduced into Estonian through other European languages such as German or English, and it remains common in bureaucratic, sociological, and information-technology vocabulary.

In grammar, staatus inflects for number and case, and staatuseid is used in contexts that refer to multiple statuses in a partially definite way, typically corresponding to the partitive or other oblique cases depending on the sentence. In discussions about classifications, eligibility, or administrative categories, various staatuseid may be examined alongside other status categories such as employment status, residency status, or project state. The exact form and case required depend on the syntactic role within the sentence.

Staatuseid appears most frequently in formal writing, official documentation, and technical descriptions where a distinction among several statuses is relevant. In everyday speech, speakers more commonly use the base form staatus or its plural staatused in straightforward references to multiple states; staatuseid tends to signal a more exacting or data-oriented context.
