eluviisil

Eluviisil is a grammatical form used in Estonian to indicate reference to lifestyle in a statement. It is formed from the noun eluviis (lifestyle) with the adessive suffix -l, yielding a sense of “in terms of lifestyle” or “in the lifestyle context.” The form is most often found in academic or analytic writing, especially in sociolinguistic or cultural studies, where phenomena are discussed from the perspective of living patterns.

In usage, eluviisil appears in phrases such as eluviisil põhinev lähenemine (a lifestyle-based approach) or eluviisil käsitletav teema (a topic treated in terms of lifestyle). It is distinct from related expressions such as eluviisiga (with lifestyle) or eluviisi järgi (according to lifestyle). Because it is a specialized construction, it is not part of everyday speech and is more common in scholarly prose than in ordinary conversation.

Example: Eluviisil põhinev uuring viitab sellele, kuidas eluviis mõjutab tervise riskide hindamist. Translation: A lifestyle-based study indicates how lifestyle influences the assessment of health risks.

See also: eluviis (lifestyle), eluviisiline, eluviisi järgi. Note that eluviisil is a niche form primarily encountered in formal or analytical contexts rather than common parlance.
