Teleskoopides

Teleskoopides is an Estonian linguistic form meaning “in the telescopes.” It is the inessive plural form of the noun teleskoop (telescope) and is used to indicate location or instrument involved in an action.

Declension notes: The base noun is teleskoop. In the plural nominative it appears as teleskoopid. The genitive plural is teleskoopide. The inessive plural, which answers questions like “where?” in a plural sense, is teleskoopides, conveying “in the telescopes.”

Usage: Teleskoopides is typically found in scientific or descriptive texts related to astronomy or observational equipment when describing activities that take place within or through telescopes. For example:

- Uuringud viidi läbi teleskoopides. (The studies were conducted in the telescopes.)

- Teleskoopides koguti andmeid. (Data were collected in the telescopes.)

Notes: As a location form, teleskoopides often appears in sentences that discuss observational setups, instruments, or procedures associated with telescopes. It is distinct from the genitive teleskoopide (of the telescopes) and other case forms.
