Tellimustes

Tellimustes is the inessive plural form of the Estonian noun tellimus, meaning “orders” in the sense of purchase orders or requests for goods. Grammatically, tellimus is a countable noun; its plural nominative is tellimused, and the inessive plural form tellimustes literally means “in the orders,” used to indicate location or context inside a group of orders.

In everyday business and logistics language, tellimustes is used to refer to information, items, or conditions that exist within the set of orders. It appears in reports, inventories, and procedural descriptions to specify content or actions related to the orders themselves rather than to separate documents. For example, tellimustes on toodete nimed ja kogused means “the orders contain the product names and quantities,” and need for updates may be described as muudatused tellimustes, “changes within the orders.”

Usage notes: tellimustes is typically employed in formal or semi-formal Estonian writing related to procurement, manufacturing, or supply chain processes. It is one inflected form among several case forms of tellimus, and it should be distinguished from tellimused (nominative plural) or tellimuse (genitive singular). Understanding the inessive plural helps clarify where information is located or where actions apply—in this case, within the orders themselves rather than in other records.
