kirjutust

Kirjutust is an Estonian noun form meaning writing in a broad sense: the act of writing, a piece of writing, or handwriting. It is the partitive singular of the base noun kirjutus, whose core meaning covers writing as activity and the written product. In usage, kirjutust conveys an indefinite amount or portion of writing, rather than writing in a general, abstract sense.

The base verb is kirjutama (to write), and kirjutus belongs to the same semantic field as related terms such as kirjandus (literature) and käsikirjutus (handwriting or manuscript). In contemporary Estonian, kirjutust appears primarily in educational and literary contexts, such as discussions of writing tasks, drafts, or textual material. As a grammatical form, kirjutust functions as a partitive object in sentences and inflects like other Estonian nouns for number and case (for example, partitive kirjutust, plural kirjutusi, and corresponding forms in other cases).

Overall, kirjutust is a specialized grammatical form rather than a freely used standalone noun, but it is a recognizable component in discussions of writing, text production, and related activities within Estonian language and literature contexts. See also Estonian language, kirjutama, kirjandus.
