laiaulatuslikku

Laiaulatuslikku is the partitive singular form of the Estonian adjective laiaulatuslik, meaning broad-ranging or extensive. The base adjective combines laia (wide) with ulatus (extent) and the suffix -lik to describe something with wide scope or reach. In Estonian, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in number and case; laiaulatuslikku appears when the associated noun is in the partitive case singular.

Etymology and morphology: laiaulatuslik originates from the components laia and ulatus, joined by the suffix -lik to form an adjective of broad scope. The form laiaulatuslikku is used with nouns in the partitive case (singular), as is common after verbs or with quantity expressions that require the partitive.

Usage: The word is typically found in formal or academic writing, policy documents, research summaries, and legislative language where broad scope or wide-ranging impact is described. Common usages include laiaulatuslik mõju (broad impact), laiaulatuslik projekt (extensive project), laiaulatuslik reform (wide-ranging reform), and laiaulatusliku eelarve koostamine (the preparation of a broad budget).

Examples:

- Uuring näitas laiaulatuslikku mõju tööhõivele.

- Valitsus kiitis laiaulatusliku reformi.

- Riik on välja töötanud laiaulatusliku projektikava.

Notes: Laiaulatuslikku functions as an inflected form of the adjective and does not stand alone; it requires a noun in the partitive singular or participates in a structure where the noun is understood in the partitive. The term conveys a sense of wide coverage, large scale, or comprehensive scope.
