kujundlikke

Kujundlikke is an Estonian adjective form that functions as the plural partitive ending of kujundlik, meaning design-related or aesthetic. The base word kujundlik is used to describe things pertaining to design, form, or the aesthetic qualities of objects and ideas. The ending -ke marks the plural partitive form, so kujundlikke is placed before plural nouns in the partitive case, as in kujundlikke ideid (design-related ideas) or kujundlikke lahendusi (design-related solutions).

In use, kujundlikke is common in discussions of design, architecture, graphic arts, product development, and related fields where emphasis falls on design considerations rather than purely functional or technical aspects. The term helps distinguish design-oriented thinking from broader aesthetic descriptions, although it overlaps with related terms such as esteetiline (aesthetic) or kujunduslik (design-like).

Etymology and relation to other forms: kujundlik is derived from kujundus (design, shaping) with the adjectival suffix -lik, producing the sense of “design-related.” The form kujundlikke is one of several inflected forms of this adjective and is specifically used with plural nouns in the partitive case. Related words include kujundlikkus (design-mindedness or aesthetic sensibility) and kujunduslik (design-like).

Summary: kujundlikke denotes design-related, aesthetic aspects in a plural partitive context, and is a practical descriptor in Estonian design discourse, used to talk about ideas, solutions, and artefacts that are oriented toward design principles or considerations.
