hoiatuseid

hoiatuseid is the Estonian word for warnings and cautions. It refers to multiple warnings or advisories and is used in both formal and informal contexts to indicate a collection of notices about potential risks, hazards, or precautions. The term derives from the verb hoiatama (to warn) and the noun hoiatus (warning). The standard nominative plural is hoiatused, while hoiatuseid appears as the partitive plural, used in sentences that require the partitive case.

hoiatuseid appears in media, government communications, weather forecasts, consumer safety notices, and public health advisories. It can refer to a single category of warning or to several distinct warnings, depending on the context. Common contexts include weather warnings about storms, recalls of unsafe products, and health alerts. The form can be modified with descriptors, for example mitmeid hoiatuseid (several warnings) or tõsiseid hoiatuseid (serious warnings). Related forms include hoiatused (nominative plural) and hoiatuse (singular; used in other grammatical cases).
