peatükis

Peatükis is the inessive singular form of the Estonian noun peatükk, meaning chapter. It is used to indicate the location or content of something within a chapter of a book, article, or other extended text. In English, it corresponds to phrases like “in the chapter” or “within the chapter.”

Etymology and grammar: peatükk is the base noun for a division of a text, and peatükis is the form used when describing something that exists inside that division. Estonian nouns decline for case, number, and other features, and the inessive form (ending typically in -is) is one of several ways to reference location inside a text. This form is common in academic writing, literary analysis, and everyday reading when authors refer to material that appears specifically in a given chapter.

Usage: peatükis appears in sentences that point to material contained within a chapter. Examples include: “Peatükis 4 käsitletakse uuritavat teemat.” and “Selles peatükis tuuakse esile peamised järeldused.” The term helps readers locate information without repeating the full heading or title of the chapter.

Related forms and notes: as a declinable noun, peatükk has other case forms such as genitive peatüki and partitive peatükki, among others. The word is common in Estonian writing and does not denote a separate concept beyond its grammatical usage to refer to content inside a chapter.
