ehitamisest

Ehitamisest is the elative singular form of ehitamine, the Estonian noun for construction or building. It is used to express the topic, content, or source of discussion in a sentence, roughly corresponding to “about construction” in English. The form signals that the text or speech concerns construction as a subject.

In grammar, ehitamisest is one of the case forms of ehitamine; other forms such as ehitamise (genitive) serve different grammatical functions. Ehitamisest commonly appears in contexts where the topic is introduced or described, for example in scholarly articles, policy texts, news reports, or lectures that concern construction, urban development, or related practices.

The field of ehitamine encompasses planning, design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and maintenance of buildings and other structures. It intersects with architecture, civil engineering, urban planning, real estate development, and infrastructure. Key considerations include safety standards, building codes, project management, financing, quality control, and sustainability, including energy efficiency and environmental impact.

Usage examples in Estonian texts often place ehitamisest after verbs that govern topic or discussion, such as rääkima or kirjutama, to denote what is being discussed or written about. As a grammatical form, ehitamisest helps to frame the scope of a sentence around construction without requiring a noun phrase to state it explicitly.
