kohustusi

Kohustusi is the partitive plural form of the Estonian noun kohustus, meaning obligations or duties. It is used when referring to a number of duties in a non-specific or collective sense, or when the obligation is treated as an undetermined quantity.

In everyday language, kohustusi can denote personal responsibilities, chores, or tasks one is expected to perform. In legal, corporate, and international contexts, it describes contractual, statutory, or ethical obligations that parties are required to meet. For example, contracts often set out kohustusi that must be fulfilled, while organizations have kohustusi toward stakeholders and the public.

Examples include:

- Ta täidab oma kohustusi. (He/She fulfills his/her obligations.)

- Need kohustusi tuleb täita. (These obligations must be fulfilled.)

Grammatical note: kohustusi is the partitive plural of kohustus. It appears with verbs and constructions that require the partitive case, such as täita kohustusi, omada kohustusi, or täitmata kohustusi, depending on the sentence.

Related terms include kohustus (singular, obligation or duty) and kohustused (plural, obligations). In bilingual or translated texts, kohustusi is typically rendered as obligations, duties, or responsibilities.
