auditiivsete

Auditiivsete is the genitive plural form of the Estonian adjective auditiivne, meaning "auditory" or "related to hearing." It functions as a grammatical form rather than a standalone lexical item. In Estonian, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in case, number, and definiteness; thus auditiivsete appears when describing plural nouns in the genitive case. For instance, in phrases like "auditiivsete omaduste kirjeldus" (a description of auditory properties) or "auditiivsete stiimulite eristamine" (the discrimination of auditory stimuli), auditiivsete modifies the genitive plural noun.

Etymology and usage: auditiivne derives from a root connected with hearing, aligning with cognates such as the English "auditory" and the Latin root audi- in "audio." The suffix -ivne marks the adjective, and -sete marks the genitive plural for the adjective. In other cases, the base form changes: nominative plural is auditiivsed, genitive singular auditiivse, etc.

Notes: In standard use, auditiivsete is not a standalone term but a grammatical form whose meaning emerges from context as "related to hearing." It commonly appears in scientific, psychological, or acoustics texts dealing with concepts such as auditory properties, auditory stimuli, or auditory experience.
