orgaanilistes

Orgaanilistes is an Estonian grammatical form. It is the inessive plural form of the adjective orgaaniline, meaning “organic.” The form appears when the adjective modifies a plural noun in the inessive case, typically in scientific or descriptive prose. In practice, orgaanilistes is used to describe things that are located or defined within organic contexts, such as organic compounds, substances, or systems.

In usage, orgaaniline describes properties or categories related to carbon-based matter. When the noun it modifies is plural and in the inessive case, the adjective takes the form orgaanilistes. This convention is common in chemistry, biology, and related fields where precise locational or contextual meaning is important. For example, phrases like orgaanilistes ühendites (in organic compounds) or orgaanilistes lahustes (in organic solutions) illustrate typical constructions. The form is a standard part of Estonian adjective inflection, reflecting the language’s system of agreement between adjectives and nouns in number and case.

The term itself does not denote a separate concept beyond its grammatical function; it values a contextual, descriptive role within a sentence. Users encountering orgaanilistes are likely reading technical or academic Estonian, where accuracy in case and number agreement helps convey specific scientific contexts.
