Uuringust

Uuringust is an Estonian noun form meaning “from the research” or “of the study.” It is the elative case form of the noun uur ing (research, study) and expresses origin or source. In Estonian grammar, the elative case indicates movement from or basis in something, and the suffix -st is used to form this case for many stems ending in -ing.

In practice, uuringust is used primarily in academic and scientific writing to attribute information to a source or to describe conclusions that arise from a study. It commonly appears in noun phrases such as uur ingust pärinevad andmed (data originating from the study) or uuringust tulenevad järeldused (conclusions derived from the study). It can also modify phrases like uuringust saadud tulemused (results obtained from the study).

Grammatically, uuringust functions as a dependent noun form within a larger noun phrase. The meaning—origin, source, or basis—depends on the surrounding words, and it is not a standalone concept but a grammatical case form used to connect statements to their research sources.
