Vastusest

vastusest is an Estonian noun form meaning “from the answer” or “as a result of the answer.” It is the elative case of the noun vastus (answer) and is used to indicate origin, source, or consequence related to an answer or response. In everyday language it appears in phrases that describe what follows from a given answer or data set, especially in formal or analytical writing.

Etymology and grammar

The word is built from vastus (answer) with the Estonian elative suffix -st, yielding vastusest. The elative case often marks origin or cause, so vastusest is commonly found in constructions that attribute a conclusion, observation, or action to the answer provided. Typical collocations include vastusest tulenev, vastusest lähtuv, and vastusest tulenenud, all conveying that something derives from or results from the answer.

Usage

vastusest is most frequently encountered in academic, legal, and formal journalistic contexts. It helps connect a statement, finding, or recommendation to the underlying answer or response it derives from. For example: “Vastusest tulenev järeldus oli, et riskid tuleb käsitleda ettevaatusega,” meaning “The conclusion arising from the answer was that the risks must be treated with caution.” Other examples describe methods, plans, or evaluations that originate in or respond to a given answer.

Related terms include vastus (answer) and vastama (to answer). The elative case in Estonian language includes several other forms used to express source or origin in discourse.

Overall, vastusest functions as a precise linguistic tool for tying conclusions or actions to their underlying answers within Estonian prose and formal writing.
