kujutistel

Kujutistel is an Estonian noun form that refers to pictures, depictions, or imagery. In usage, it can denote both concrete visual content—such as photographs, drawings, and illustrations—and more abstract or imagined representations. The term is common in discussions of art, media, and visual culture, as well as in linguistic or cognitive contexts when exploring mental imagery.

Grammatically, kujutistel is a plural inessive form of the related noun kujutis/kujutus, used to indicate “in the images” or “in the depictions.” Because Estonian nouns change form for case and number, kujutistel appears in sentences that describe what exists within or is presented by pictures, or what is conveyed through visual representation. The word thus functions across several registers—from scholarly analysis to everyday description of visual content.

Semantically, kujutistel encompasses both literal images and broader visual representations. In art history or film studies, it may refer to the ways reality is depicted or stylized in a work. In psychology or cognitive science, it can be used to discuss mental imagery associated with memory or imagination. The term is versatile and often appears in compound expressions and discussions about how images communicate meaning.

Related terms include kujutis and kujutus (image or depiction) and broader concepts such as visual culture and illustration. Kujutistel thus serves as a general label for visual content and the imagery embedded within media, art, and thought.
