kõnetüübid

Käänetüübid, also known as sentence types or clause types, are fundamental units of language that express a complete thought. In Estonian, käänetüübid are categorized into two main types: main clauses and subordinate clauses. Main clauses can stand alone as complete sentences, while subordinate clauses cannot and require a main clause to form a complete sentence. Subordinate clauses are further divided into several subtypes based on their function within the sentence. These include adverbial clauses, which modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs; nominal clauses, which function as nouns; and relative clauses, which provide additional information about a noun. Each type of käänetüüp has its own grammatical structure and function, contributing to the overall complexity and expressiveness of the Estonian language. Understanding käänetüübid is essential for mastering Estonian grammar and effectively communicating in the language.
