kvaliteetidel

Kvaliteetidel is an Estonian-language term that refers to the adessive plural form of the noun kvaliteet, meaning “on the qualities” or “with regard to the qualities.” The form is used to indicate location, context, or basis related to qualities in a sentence, often when discussing attributes of a product, process, or concept.

Morphology: The base noun kvaliteet has the plural form kvaliteedid. To express “on the qualities” in the adessive plural, the suffix -del is added, giving kvaliteetidel. This follows the general Estonian pattern where the adessive plural marks a plural context of location or basis.

Usage: In practical Estonian, kvaliteetidel appears in phrases such as “kvaliteetidel põhinevad otsused” (decisions based on the qualities) or “kvaliteetidel põhinevad hindamised” (evaluations based on the qualities). It is common in discussions of quality attributes, product evaluation, and quality-management discourse, where multiple qualities serve as criteria or sources of information.
