majanduslikus

Majanduslikus is the inessive singular form of the Estonian adjective majanduslik, meaning “economic” or “relating to the economy.” It is used to express “in the economic sense” or “in terms of the economy” and appears with nouns in the inessive case, such as mõttes, kontekstis, or olukorras. Common phrases include majanduslikus mõttes (“in economic terms”), majanduslikus kontekstis (“in an economic context”), and majanduslikus olukorras (“in an economic situation”).

The form is typical of formal or academic language, where distinctions between economic and non-economic dimensions are relevant. It does not stand alone as a noun but serves to qualify a following noun or to form idiomatic expressions that specify economic aspects.

Etymology and usage notes: majanduslik is built from the noun majandus (economy) plus the suffix -lik, yielding the adjective “economic.” The inessive form majanduslikus is produced through standard Estonian case inflection and is commonly encountered in written texts, policy documents, journalism, and scholarly writing when signaling an economic perspective or dimension.
