Sõrmekujuliste is an Estonian word that translates to "finger-shaped" in English. It is an adjective used to describe objects or phenomena that possess a form resembling a human finger. This can refer to a variety of things, from natural formations to manufactured items.

In geology, for instance, the term might be used to describe finger-like rock formations or mineral deposits. In botany, it could be applied to the shape of leaves, roots, or even entire plants that grow in a digitated manner.

The term is also applicable to man-made objects. A tool with a handle that is long and slender, or a piece of furniture with legs that taper, could be characterized as sõrmekujuliste.
