failide

Failide is the genitive plural form of the Estonian noun fail, meaning "file." The nominative plural is failid, while failide is used to indicate possession or to modify nouns in compound phrases such as failide nimekiri (list of files) or failide suurus (size of files).

Grammatically, failide follows the standard Estonian declension pattern for nouns ending in a consonant when forming the genitive plural. It is not normally used as a standalone noun and appears primarily within noun phrases.

In computing and data-management contexts, failide denotes multiple files or a collection of files. It appears in user interfaces, documentation, and code in phrases like failide arhiveerimine (archiving of files), failide jagamine (sharing of files), and failide import ja eksport (import and export of files).

Notes: The term is language-specific and should be distinguished from the singular fail ("file") and from similar-looking forms in other languages. See also: fail, failid, faili, failide nimekiri, failide suurus.
