korterit
Korterit is the Estonian partitiiv singular form of the noun korter, meaning “an apartment” or “a flat.” It is not a separate lexical item but an inflected form used to refer to an apartment in an indefinite or non-specific sense. The base noun korter denotes a dwelling unit, and korterit appears in sentences where the object is not specified or is encountered in non-completed or non-assertive contexts.
