Tugevusi

Tugevusi is an Estonian noun meaning "strengths" or "fortitudes." It is the partitive plural form of tugevus, the word for a strength or advantageous feature. The base term stems from the adjective tugev, meaning strong, with the abstract-noun suffix -us. This formation is a common pattern for describing qualities.

In usage, the nominative plural is tugevused, used when referring to the strengths of something in a definite sense. The partitive plural, tugevusi, appears in contexts that express an indefinite quantity or occur within a larger clause. For example, one might say "ta omab mitmeid tugevusi" meaning "he has several strengths." The form tugevusi is thus typical in phrases that discuss strengths in a non-counted or general way, such as in personal development, education, and business contexts.

The term is closely related to other Estonian forms of the same root, including tugevus (singular) and tugevused (nominative plural). It is commonly used in discussions of capabilities, advantages, or assets of a person, team, organization, or product. In English-language summaries of Estonian discourse, tugevu s are often translated as strengths, capabilities, or strong points. The word functions within standard Estonian grammar and appears across formal and informal registers.
