liigutusel

Liigutusel is an Estonian grammatical form. The term refers to the adessive singular form of the noun liigutus, which means movement or gesture. In Estonian grammar, the adessive case marks location or context related to the noun, and liigutusel specifically indicates a location or context associated with movement or gesture. The form is primarily encountered in linguistic descriptions, grammars, and technical texts rather than in everyday speech.

Usage and formation. Liigutusel is derived from liigutus (movement) and functions as the adessive singular form of that noun. It is used to express where a movement occurs or the context in which movement takes place, within descriptive or analytical language. Because it is a case form rather than a standalone common noun, its appearance is typical in written language that discusses grammar, syntax, or detailed descriptions of actions.

Frequency and context. In contemporary spoken Estonian, liigutusel is not a common conversational word; it appears mainly in linguistic analyses, instructional materials, or translations where precise grammatical detail is relevant. Its use helps illustrate how case endings interact with nouns that denote actions, gestures, or movements.
