aruteluteemasid

Aruteluteemasid is a term in Estonian that means “discussion topics.” It is the partitive plural form of aruteluteema, and it refers to topics that are to be discussed or have been chosen for discussion in a meeting, debate, classroom, or other setting.

The word is formed from arutelu (discussion) and teema (topic). The aruteluteemasid form is used when referring to several topics in an indefinite or non-specific sense, such as when indicating that a set of topics will be addressed or were addressed. It contrasts with aruteluteemad, the nominative plural used for the subject of a sentence, for example when listing topics more definitively.

In practice, aruteluteemasid appears in formal and informal contexts alike. It is common in meeting agendas, event programs, educational materials, and forum discussions. Examples of usage include: “Päevakava sisaldab aruteluteemasid, näiteks eelarve ja koolitus.” or “Me arutame järgmiseid aruteluteemasid.” The term helps to specify the scope of discussion without naming each topic definitively.

Related concepts include arutelu (discussion) and teema (topic), as well as aruteluteema (a single discussion topic) and aruteluagenda (meeting agenda). Understanding the difference between the partitive aruteluteemasid and the nominative aruteluteemad can aid in correct sentence structure and nuance in Estonian texts.
