ehituslikku

Ehituslikku is an Estonian grammatical form, the partitive singular of the adjective ehituslik. It denotes construction-related or building-related characteristics and is used to describe a noun that is in the partitive case. As a form of the adjective, ehituslikku does not function as a standalone word but as a declined form that agrees with its noun in case, number, and gender.

In use, ehituslikku appears in phrases where the noun is in the partitive case. Examples include ehituslikku tööd, meaning construction-related work; ehituslikku materjali, meaning construction-related material; and ehituslikku perspektiivi, meaning from a construction-related perspective. These constructions are common in technical, architectural, planning, and academic texts, where precision about the scope of “construction-related” phenomena is required.

Etymologically, ehituslikku is formed from the base noun ehitus (construction) plus the adjectival suffix -lik, with the partitive ending -u. It illustrates how Estonian adjectives decline to reflect the case of the nouns they modify. The term is primarily a grammatical or descriptive label rather than a commonly used lexical item in everyday language, typically appearing in specialized or formal contexts.
