omadussõnavorm

omadussõnavorm refers to the inflection of adjectives in Estonian. Adjectives in Estonian agree with the noun they modify in case, number, and definiteness. This means the ending of the adjective changes depending on its grammatical role in the sentence. For example, the adjective "ilus" (beautiful) will have different forms when used in the nominative singular, genitive plural, or partitive singular. The complexity arises from the various noun cases and the distinction between definite and indefinite forms. The definite form of an adjective is typically used when referring to a specific, previously mentioned, or uniquely identifiable noun. Understanding omadussõnavorm is crucial for correct Estonian grammar, as it ensures the adjective accurately reflects the properties of the noun it describes within the sentence's grammatical structure. This inflection system is a core feature of Estonian morphology.
