Võimalikke

Võimalikke is the capitalized form of a common Estonian grammatical form, specifically the partitive plural form of the adjective võimalik, meaning "possible." It is used before plural nouns in the partitive case, typically to describe items that are not definite or are under consideration. For example, mitmeid võimalikke lahendusi means several possible solutions, and erinevaid võimalikke strateegiaid means various possible strategies.

In Estonian grammar, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case. The partitive plural form võimalikke is employed when the noun is plural and in the partitive case. This form contrasts with other forms of võimalik, such as võimaliku (genitive singular or partitive singular) and võimalikud (nominative plural). The choice of form depends on the syntactic role of the noun phrase in a sentence.

Usage and context: Võimalikke is widely used in formal writing, research, planning, policy discussions, and everyday language whenever potential options or outcomes are being described. It signals that the referred possibilities are not yet fixed or definite and are subject to evaluation or choice.
