mõjutavateks

mõjutavateks is the genitive plural form of the Estonian word "mõjutav". In Estonian grammar, the genitive case indicates possession or relationship, and the plural form denotes multiple items. Therefore, "mõjutavateks" translates to "of the influencing ones" or "belonging to the influencing things". It is used when referring to multiple entities or concepts that have an effect or influence on something else, and the sentence structure requires the genitive case. For example, it might be used in phrases like "märgid mõjutavateks teguriteks" which translates to "signs of influencing factors". The word "mõjutav" itself is an adjective derived from the verb "mõjutama," meaning to influence or affect. Thus, "mõjutavateks" specifically refers to the genitive plural of this adjective when it functions as a noun or modifies a noun that is also in the genitive plural. Understanding its grammatical function is key to correctly interpreting its meaning in an Estonian sentence.
