Tehnilisi

Tehnilisi is an Estonian adjective form, the partitive plural of the word tehniline, meaning technical or technological. It is used to describe nouns in contexts involving technology or technique when the noun is in the partitive case, often to indicate an indefinite amount or a non-specific set of aspects or items.

Etymology and grammar: Tehnilisi is derived from tēhnika (technology, technique) with the standard Estonian adjective suffix -iline. In Estonian grammar, adjectives agree with the noun in number and case, so tehnilisi appears with partitive plural nouns, while the nominative plural form is tehnilised.

Usage: The form is common in technical, IT, engineering, and scientific writing, as well as in discussions of product development, design, and quality assurance. It appears in phrases such as tehnilisi lahendusi (technical solutions), tehnilisi oskusi (technical skills), and tehnilisi nõudeid (technical requirements).

Examples: Ettevõte investeerib tehnilisi lahendusi; Kursus keskendub tehniliste oskuste arendamisele; Projektis on oluline täita tehnilisi nõudeid. Tehnilisi väljendeid saab sageli kohata raportites, tehnilistes aruteludes ja kirjanduses, kus rõhutatakse tehnoloogia- või tehniliste probleemide olemust.
