eristatavate

Eristatavate is the genitive plural form of the Estonian adjective eristatav, meaning distinguishable or identifiable. It is used to describe things that can be told apart or separately identified, often in contexts that involve analysis of features, attributes, or data points.

In Estonian, adjectives decline for case, number, and gender, and the genitive plural form eristatavate accompanies nouns in genitive plural. For example, eristatavate omaduste kogum translates to “a collection of distinguishable features,” and eristatavate andmete analüüs to “analysis of distinguishable data.”

Usage and context often appear in academic, scientific, and technical writing, where precise characterization of attributes is important. The term can join phrases such as “eristatavate omaduste” (of distinguishable features), “eristatavate andmete” (of distinguishable data), or “eristatavate tunnuste” (of distinguishable traits). The concept emphasizes individual identifiability within a set, which can be relevant in fields like linguistics, data analysis, and product descriptions.

Etymology traces eristatav to the Estonian verb eristama, meaning to distinguish or differentiate, with adaptations typical for adjectives. The form eristatavate follows standard genitive plural morphology, aligning with related constructions in Estonian grammar.
