juhiste

Juhiste is a grammatical form in Estonian that denotes the genitive plural of the noun juhis, meaning instruction, directive, or manual. It is used to refer to multiple instructions or to indicate a relationship to those instructions, such as possession or association.

In standard usage, juhiste appears in phrases that connect to or describe the instructions themselves. Common examples include juhiste järgimine (following the instructions) and juhiste koostamine (the drafting or preparation of the instructions). The form also occurs in legal, technical, and instructional texts to specify which instructions apply or to discuss aspects of the instructions collectively.

Understanding juhiste involves recognizing its role in noun phrases that require a genitive plural complement. This construction often appears in compound terms and in sentences that talk about compliance, quality, or accuracy related to instructions. For instance, discussions about safety or compliance frequently rely on juhiste to reference the set of guidelines in question.

Examples:

- Juhiste järgimine on oluline ohutuse tagamiseks. (Following the instructions is important for safety.)

- Juhiste täpsus mõjutab toote ohutust ja toimivust. (The accuracy of the instructions affects the safety and performance of the product.)

- Kasutusjuhiste koostamisel tuleb järgida standardnõudeid, et tagada nõuetekohane kasutamine. (When composing usage instructions, standard requirements must be followed to ensure proper use.)

Juhiste is primarily a grammatical tool within Estonian-language texts, used to express relationships to multiple instructions, and is commonly encountered in manuals, guidelines, and formal documents.
