Süsteemseid

Süsteemseid is the partitive plural form of the Estonian adjective süsteemne, meaning systemic or pertaining to a system. It is used to describe plural nouns when they are in the partitive case, or when referring to an indefinite amount of systemic characteristics, processes, or phenomena. In practical terms, you will encounter sentences where a noun like haigus, puudujääke, or muudatusi follows the adjective in its partitive plural form.

In usage, süsteemseid commonly appears in technical, scientific, or policy-related texts. Examples include phrases like süsteemseid haigusi (systemic diseases), süsteemseid puudujääke (systemic deficiencies), or süsteemseid muudatusi (systemic changes). These forms signal that the described aspects affect or pertain to the entire system rather than to individual components. The term is frequently found in medical, sociological, ecological, and organizational discussions, where wide-scale or integrative effects are a focus.

A related consideration is the grammatical distinction between forms used with different noun cases. The partitive plural form süsteemseid is contrasted with nominative plural forms such as süsteemsed, which would modify a noun in the subject position (for example, süsteemsed probleemid). Understanding the case and number of the noun that follows helps determine the correct adjective form. Overall, süsteemseid is a standard tool for expressing systemic characteristics in Estonian text.
