kohtulikud

Kohtulikud is an Estonian adjective meaning related to the court or the judiciary. It derives from koht (court) with the suffix -lik, which forms an adjective describing things connected with courts, judicial proceedings, or the administration of justice. The plural form kohtulikud is used when describing plural nouns.

In practice, kohtulikud appears mainly in legal and administrative language. It can modify nouns such as dokumendid (kohtulikud dokumendid – court documents) or küsimused (kohtulikud küsimused – judicial questions), and it is used to denote aspects of the legal process that involve the court. The term is more specific than juriidiline, which covers law in a broader sense; kohtulik emphasizes matters tied to the court and its proceedings.

Etymology: derived from the Estonian word koht (court) and the suffix -lik indicating relation.
