kooli

Kooli is the genitive singular form of the Estonian noun kool, meaning school. It expresses possession or a relation to a school and is used in attributive noun phrases to link a head noun with a school-related modifier, such as kooli uks (the school's door) or kooli hoone (the school building).

In addition to possession, kooli appears in phrases indicating reference or scope, for example kooli kohta (about the school) or kooli lõpetamine (the completion of schooling). The genitive case in Estonian marks various relations between words, and its exact meaning is determined by context.

As a grammatical form, kooli typically does not function as an independent lexical item with its own meaning outside of these constructions. Outside Estonian, Kooli may be encountered as a proper noun in rare or locale-specific contexts, such as a surname or place name, but such uses are uncommon and not widely documented.
