ehitajaid

Ehitajaid is the Estonian word meaning “builders” and functions as the partitive plural form of ehitaja, a person who builds or constructs. The base noun ehitaja is formed from ehita, “to build,” plus the agent suffix -ja. Ehitajaid is used when the direct object is indefinite or part of a non-countable quantity, such as in sentences expressing need or quantity.

Common usage includes sentences like “Tööandja otsib ehitajaid” (The employer is seeking builders) or “Meil on vaja ehitajaid tööle” (We need builders to work). It can also appear in more general statements about construction work, for example “Ehitustöödeks on vaja ehitajaid.” Grammatically, ehitajaid is the partitive plural, contrasting with ehitajad, the nominative plural.

Scope: The term covers a broad range of construction professionals who contribute to building and renovation projects, including on-site workers and supervisory personnel. It denotes a collective group rather than a single specific title.
