omadussõnalisest

Omadussõnalisest is an Estonian grammar term used in linguistic descriptions to denote an adjectival relation or feature. In scholarly discussion it refers to aspects connected with adjectives (omadussõnad) and to processes, meanings, or functions that pertain to adjectives rather than to nouns or verbs. The form represents a way to talk about adjectival concepts within Estonian syntax and morphology.

In usage, omadussõnalisest appears in phrases that examine the role of adjectives, their attributive and predicative positions, and how adjectives interact with other word classes. It is commonly found in academic prose, grammar descriptions, and typological comparisons, where the goal is to specify what is characteristic of adjectives as a word class and how adjectival meaning or function is realized in Estonian.

Etymology and related terms: The term is built from the word for adjective, omadussõna, together with derivational elements that form a concept meaning “adjectival.” Related terms include omadussõnalisus (adjectivalness), omadussõnaline (adjectival), and omadussõna (adjective).
