Takistusest

Takistusest is the elative singular form of the Estonian noun takistus, which means obstacle or barrier. In Estonian grammar, the elative case expresses origin, source, or movement away from a location. Therefore takistusest is used when referring to coming from or being freed from an obstacle, or to indicate the origin of a difficulty in figurative speech.

Morphology and formation: The elative form takistusest is formed by attaching the elative suffix -st to the noun takistus, yielding takistusest. The base nominative is takistus; other singular forms include takistuse (genitive) and takistust (partitive). The plural elative is takistustest.

Usage: Takistusest occurs in contexts describing physical barriers or metaphorical obstacles, such as overcoming difficulties or noting reasons derived from a barrier. It can appear with verbs that relate to movement from or removal of something, or with prepositions that require the elative case when referring to origin. An example is takistusest vabanemine, meaning getting free from an obstacle.
