keedukannist

Keedukannist is the elative singular form of the Estonian noun keedukann, meaning kettle. In Estonian grammar, the elative case expresses origin or source, and keedukannist translates roughly to “from the kettle.” It is a standard inflected form used in everyday language and texts.

Keedukann is a compound noun formed from keedu- (to boil) and kann (pot). The elative suffix -st attaches to the base keedukann to indicate origin from the kettle. This pattern is regular for Estonian nouns and mirrors other elative forms like majast (from the house) or kannust (from the pot, in different stems).

Usage of keedukannist typically appears in sentences describing where something comes from the kettle, such as liquids transferred or sourced from it. For example, Vesi tuli keedukannist means “The water came from the kettle.” The form is not a proper noun or a concept beyond its grammatical function; it is a straightforward inflection used to convey origin.

In broader terms, keedukannist illustrates how Estonian marks source or origin with the elative case and how compound nouns like keedukann follow the same inflectional patterns as other masculine singular nouns ending in -n. See also Estonian grammar, elative case, and keedukann.
