järgnevasse

järgnevasse is an Estonian grammatical form, specifically the illative case form of the adjective järgnev, meaning “subsequent” or “the following.” It is used with a noun in illative case to indicate movement into or toward the next item, section, or place in a sequence. As a declined form, järgnevasse is not a separate word but an inflected version of järgnev that accompanies the noun it modifies.

Formation and usage: In Estonian, adjectives agree with the noun in case. To express “into the following X,” the adjective takes the illative suffix -asse, yielding järgnevasse X. The form answers the question kuhu? (into where?) when the noun is in illative. Examples include järgnevasse rubriiki (into the following section) and järgnevasse peatükki (into the next chapter). The exact noun in illative determines the full phrase, while järgnevasse itself remains the modifying form.

Context and register: The usage of järgnevasse is typical in written Estonian, especially in instructional, regulatory, or technical texts where precise navigation of a sequence is required. It is less common in everyday speech, where speakers might prefer simpler constructions or different forms of the adjective or noun, depending on stylistic choices and formality.
