ebaregulaarsetes

Ebaregulaarsetes is a term that appears in Estonian grammar. It refers to a specific grammatical case, the partitive plural, which is used to express an indefinite quantity or a part of something in the plural. The partitive case in Estonian has a distinct function, differentiating it from the nominative, genitive, and other cases.

The partitive plural is often employed when referring to an unspecified number of items, for example, "ma nägin ebaregulaarsetes" which translates to "I saw some irregular ones" or "I saw irregular things." It contrasts with the nominative plural, which typically denotes a definite or complete set of items. The formation of the partitive plural can vary depending on the noun's declension class, often involving specific suffixes. Understanding the correct usage of ebaregulaarsetes is crucial for constructing grammatically accurate sentences in Estonian when dealing with plural nouns and indefinite quantities. This case helps convey nuances of meaning that might otherwise be lost.
