järgMist

Järgmist is an Estonian noun form that denotes “the following” or “subsequent” in a sequence. It derives from the root related to next or following and appears in inflected forms to indicate a relationship to what comes after. The exact sense of järgMist—whether temporal, spatial, or logical—depends on the context in which it is used.

In grammar and usage, järgMist functions as a case form that connects a reference to the item that follows in a list, sequence, or argument. It is most commonly encountered in written Estonian, particularly in formal, technical, or instructional texts, where it helps to introduce or specify the next part of a text, section, or argument. In everyday language, speakers more often use simpler forms such as järgneva or järgmine to express “the next.”
