konkreetsetena

Konkreetsetena is a grammatical form in the Estonian language. It represents the essive form of the adjective konkreetne, meaning “concrete” or “specific,” and it expresses “as a concrete [example or state].” The form is used to foreground concreteness in discourse, often when moving from general statements to specific instances.

Usage and function: The essive function denoted by konkreetsetena marks a temporary state or role. It is commonly found in formal or analytical writing and in contexts where authors want to present or emphasize concrete examples. The construction helps distinguish a general claim from the particular cases that follow.

Formation and notes: In Estonian grammar, konkreetsetena arises as an essive form of konkreetne. The emphasis is on its function—to present something as a concrete instance—rather than on a distinctive everyday use. It is more characteristic of formal or scholarly style than of casual speech.

Examples: Konkreetsetena toome välja järgmised andmed. Käesolev arutelu konkreetsetena viitab kolmele eraldi juhtumile. Such sentences illustrate how the form introduces concrete examples or states within an argument.

Relation to other terms: Konkreetsetena is related to konkreetne (the adjective “concrete”) and to konkreetselt (the adverb “concretely”). Its employment is relatively rare outside academic, technical, or philosophical writing, where precise differentiation between general and concrete claims is useful.
