pakettides

Pakettide is the genitive plural form of the Estonian noun pakett, meaning packages or parcels. In standard Estonian, pakettide is used to indicate possession, association, or relating to multiple packages, and it typically appears in noun phrases and inflected forms within sentences.

Etymology and form: The base word pakett is a loanword in Estonian, derived from the German Paket (and ultimately related to the English “packet”). The genitive plural suffix -ide is added to form pakettide, marking the relationship to multiple packages. This pattern is common for several Estonian nouns that end in a consonant and take the -ide ending in the genitive plural.

Usage: Pakettide is commonly encountered in contexts involving logistics, mail, and inventory. It expresses quantities, ownership, or description of packages, as in phrases like “pakettide arv” (the number of packages) or “pakettide transport” (transport of packages). It can also appear in more specialized phrases such as “pakettide etikett” (package label) or “pakettide arve” (invoice for packages), though some of these collocations may vary by register and region.

Morphology and grammar: As a genitive plural form, pakettide changes what it modifies rather than its own core meaning. It agrees with the noun it accompanies in grammatical case (genitive) and number (plural). When used in sentences, pakettide typically follows or precedes the noun it modifies according to standard Estonian syntax.
