efektiivsemate

Efektiivsemate is a grammatical form in Estonian. It is the genitive plural form of the adjective efektiivsem, which is the comparative form of efektiivne meaning “effective.” This form is used when the noun it modifies is in the genitive case or when the construction requires a genitive attribute. In other words, efektiivsemate describes “of more effective” items in phrases where the head noun is genitive or otherwise governed by a case that uses the genitive ending.

In practice, efektiivsemate is common in formal or written Estonian, especially in technical, academic, or policy contexts. It appears in noun phrases that refer to multiple items being described as more effective, such as methods, solutions, or approaches. Examples include efektiivsemate meetodite kasutamine (the use of more effective methods) or efektiivsemate lahenduste väljatöötamine (the development of more effective solutions). The form helps indicate a comparison at the level of the whole phrase rather than a single item.

For comparison, when the head noun is in the nominative plural, the adjective takes the form efektiivsemad (more effective). The genitive plural Efektiivsemate meetodite must be processed with attention to case and noun endings in Estonian sentences. Overall, efektiivsemate is a standard declined form used to express “of more effective” items within proper grammatical agreement.
