arvudest

Arvudest is the elative plural form of the Estonian noun arv, meaning numbers. In linguistic terms, arvudest denotes origin, basis, or source that is numerically based, and it is primarily used in formal or analytical writing to refer to information drawn from numerical data.

Grammatically, arvudest is formed from the plural nominative arvud by adding the elative plural suffix -est. This construction is used to indicate that conclusions, decisions, or statements arise from or are derived from the numbers themselves. In phrases, arvudest often functions as a prepositional element, linking data to the interpretation that follows.

Usage and nuances Puedes examples show common patterns:

- Arvudest lähtudes tähendab see, et otsused on tehtud põhjalikelt numbriliste näitajate kaudu. (Based on the numbers, this means decisions were made after examining numerical indicators.)

- Arvudest tulenevad järeldused on esitatud aruandes. (The conclusions derived from the numbers are presented in the report.)

In many contexts, more everyday alternatives such as andmete põhjal or arvude põhjal are often preferred, but arvudest remains acceptable in formal statistics, research papers, and technical writing where emphasis is placed on numerical sources.

Related terms and concepts include arv (number), andmed (data), and the notion of elatiivne kääne (elative case) in Estonian grammar. The usage of arvudest emphasizes that numerical evidence underpins the statements, rather than relying on anecdotal or subjective observations.
