lennukid

Lennukid is the Estonian term for airplanes and functions as the plural form of lennuk, meaning airplane. It is part of standard vocabulary used in aviation contexts, media reporting, and everyday Estonian speech whenever multiple aircraft are discussed.

Origin and form: The plural lennukid is formed by attaching the plural suffix -id to the noun lennuk. This pattern is one of several ways Estonian handles pluralization, with suffixes such as -ud and -ed used for different noun classes and phonological contexts.

Usage: In journalism, travel writing, textbooks, and other Estonian-language materials, lennukid appears whenever more than one aircraft is referenced. It can occur in sentences about flight operations, airports, air traffic, or comparisons involving multiple planes.

Notes: The term is a common, generic noun rather than a proper name. It is not widely recognized as a brand or individual identifier in major reference sources. If used as a brand or project name, such usage would be by a specific entity and would depend on that entity’s branding rather than reflecting a standard linguistic meaning.
