olemasolevatest

Olemusolevatest is an Estonian inflected form derived from the adjective olemusolev (more commonly written olem as olem—the correct root is ole­ma—see below). The usual base is olemaselev/olemasolev, meaning "existing" or "present". Morphologically it consists of the root ole­mas ("existing"), the participial/adjectival suffix -olev (forming "existing"), and the elative plural ending -test, yielding olem­asolevatest. The elative plural typically expresses "from" or "about" a group: hence olem­asolevatest is often translated as "about the existing ones", "of the existing (items)" or "from the existing (things)".

As a grammatical form it appears when the adjective is used substantively or modifies a plural noun in contexts requiring the elative case. Example usage: "Rääkisime olemasolevatest lahendustest" (We talked about the existing solutions). It functions in standard Estonian syntax and follows regular adjective declension patterns. Olem­asolevatest is not a lexical head on its own but an inflected variant; its meaning and usage depend on the noun or clause it accompanies. Similar forms include olem­asolev (nominative) and olem­asolevaid (partitive plural), which differ by case and syntactic role.
