konstruktioonides

Konstruktioonides is an Estonian grammatical form that denotes “in constructions.” It represents the locative plural form of the noun konstruktsioon (or konstruktioon in some variants), and it is used to indicate that something occurs inside or within multiple structures, whether physical formations like buildings and frameworks or abstract arrangements of parts.

Etymology and relation to other forms: The word konstruktsioon is a native Estonian term for a structure or building, with loanword influence from Latin through European languages. Konstruktioonides (along with related forms such as konstruktsioonid and konstruktsioonide) is part of the system of Estonian cases and numbers that mark location and possession. The -ides ending signals the locative plural, pointing to activity, characteristics, or events happening inside several constructions.

Usage and context: In technical and academic Estonian, konstruktioonides appears in discussions of architecture, civil engineering, and design analysis when describing conditions inside multiple structures or within the framework of several designs. It can also be found in scholarly texts that compare how different constructions distribute loads, stresses, or resources.

- In konstruktsioonides esinevad koormused tuleb modelleerida enne ehitustööde jätkamist.

- Uuring märgib, kuidas ehitusedade tööd erinevates konstruktsioonides koordineeritakse.
