kohapealsete

Kohapealsete is an Estonian grammatical form, specifically the genitive plural of the adjective kohapealsed, which means on-site or at the location. The form is used in phrases that refer to groups of people or things located at a specific site, often in contexts such as construction, events, or inspections.

In practice, kohapealsete appears in larger noun phrases where the noun is in the possessive or partitive sense, for example kohapealsete töötajate turvalisus (the safety of on-site workers) or kohapealsete kontrollide käigus (during on-site inspections). It is not typically used as a stand-alone noun; rather, it functions as a modifier within a sentence and takes the grammatical connections required by Estonian syntax.

Etymology: kohapealsete derives from kohapealne (on-site) and its plural genitive suffix. The base kohapealne combines kohapeal (on location) with the adjective-forming ending -ne, while the genitive plural ending -sete marks the possessive/relational form used in phrases referring to multiple on-site entities.

Note: Because kohapealsete is a grammatical form rather than a standalone noun, its exact meaning depends on the head noun it modifies. The core idea remains the same: elements associated with a specific location.
