omadussõnadena
Oma dusõnadena is a term used in Estonian linguistics to refer to words that are formed from another word belonging to the same word family, often by adding a suffix or altering the base word. These words share a common root and usually a similar meaning, though they might represent different grammatical functions or nuances. The process of creating oma dusõnadena is a fundamental aspect of Estonian word formation, contributing to the richness and expressiveness of the language.
For example, if the base word is "maja" (house), an oma dusõna could be "majake" (small house)
