aianduses

Aianduses is an Estonian word meaning "in horticulture" or "within horticulture". It is the inessive singular form of the noun aiandus (horticulture) and is used to indicate location, context, or subject matter related to horticultural practice, study, or industry.

Etymology and grammar: Aiandus derives from the verb aeda (to garden) with the productive noun-forming suffix -us. The ending -s marks the inessive case in Estonian, which commonly corresponds to English prepositions such as "in" or "within". As an inflected form, aianduses appears in sentences to specify that an action or condition takes place in or pertains to the field of horticulture.

Usage: Aianduses occurs in informational, academic, and practical contexts—for example, aianduses kasutatakse väetisi ja kastmissüsteeme ("in horticulture, fertilizers and irrigation systems are used"). It can introduce topical statements (aianduses on olulised taimevalik ja mullahooldus — "in horticulture, plant selection and soil care are important") or denote a physical or conceptual domain.

Related forms and comparisons: The nominative is aiandus; other case forms include aiandusse (into horticulture, illative) and aiandust (partitive). Aianduses is comparable to other inessive uses in Estonian that mark domain or location rather than simple possession.
