kõvaid

Kõvaid is a word found in the Estonian language. It is the genitive plural form of the adjective "kõva," which translates to "hard" in English. Therefore, "kõvaid" literally means "of hard ones" or "hard's." In practice, it is used in sentences where possession or a relationship to multiple hard things is indicated. For instance, one might discuss "kõvaid kive," meaning "of hard stones," or "kõvaid otsuseid," meaning "of hard decisions." The specific context of the sentence dictates the precise meaning and grammatical function of "kõvaid." It is a common grammatical construction within Estonian, illustrating how adjectives change form based on grammatical case, number, and gender (though Estonian does not have grammatical gender in the same way some other languages do). Understanding this form is essential for comprehending Estonian grammar and the nuances of descriptive language.
