löökide

Löökide is the genitive plural of the Estonian noun löök, which means a blow, strike, or impact. The form löökide is used to refer to multiple blows collectively or to attribute characteristics to them, as in phrases like löökide arv (the number of blows) or löökide tugevus (the strength of the blows).

In usage, löök can denote physical hits in sports and combat, such as boxing or martial arts, as well as impacts in mechanical or scientific contexts. The term appears in technical and descriptive prose to discuss the magnitude, frequency, or effects of blows delivered by a person, weapon, tool, or other object. Outside specialized texts, löökide is mainly encountered in constructions that describe measurements or characteristics of blows rather than in ordinary everyday speech.

Grammatically, löökide is the standard genitive plural form used with nouns that express quantity, possession, or attribution related to blows. It contrasts with the nominative plural löögid, which would refer to blows as a subject.

Etymologically, löök is an indigenous Estonian word with broad applicability across domains where a hit or impact is involved. The plural form löökide is a common tool for discussing multiple blows in a concise, attributive way.
