Täieulatusliku

Täieulatusliku is the genitive singular form of the Estonian adjective täieulatuslik, which means extensive, comprehensive or far-reaching. The base combines täie- (full, complete) with ulatuslik (having extent) and the suffix -lik, yielding a word that expresses something covering the full scope or a wide range of aspects.

Etymology and form: Täieulatuslik derives from a compound built to emphasize completeness of scope. The form täieulatusliku appears when the adjective modifies a noun in a way that requires the genitive singular, for example in phrases like täieulatusliku mõju all. This reflects Estonian’s agreement system, where adjectives take a genitive ending (-liku) before a genitive noun.

Usage and nuance: The term is relatively formal and common in academic, policy and analytic writing. It connotes not only breadth but also the idea that multiple facets are encompassed or that the scope is essentially complete. It is close in meaning to laiaulatuslik (broad, wide-ranging), but täieulatuslik often carries a stronger sense of fullness or totality of scope.

Examples: Täieulatusliku mõju all otsustasid komisjonid mitmesuguseid meetmeid. Täieulatusliku ulatuse küsimus kerkis esile keskkonnaprojektide hindamisel. On ilmne, et täieulatusliku kontekstiga arutelu erineb mitmepalgelisest arutelust.

See also: laiaulatuslik, ulatuslik, kõikehõlmav. The term remains mainly in formal Estonian discourse and is used to characterize phenomena, analyses or plans that aim to be comprehensive or all-encompassing.
