plaanilised

Plaanilised is an Estonian adjective meaning planned or scheduled, used to describe things that have been determined by a plan in advance. It is formed from the noun plan (plaan) with the common adjectival suffix -iline. The base singular form is plaaniline, and the plural nominative form is plaanilised. Like other adjectives, plaaniline agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case, so forms change across grammatical contexts (for example, genitive plural is plaaniliste, etc.).

The word is most common in formal and administrative language, planning contexts, and discussions about projects, budgets, and programs. It conveys that something follows a predefined plan rather than arising spontaneously or randomly. In everyday usage, it can appear in phrases describing events, measures, investments, or activities that have been scheduled or organized in advance.

Examples of typical usage include phrases such as plaanilised sündmused (planned events), plaanilised meetmed (planned measures), and plaaniliste investeeringute (planned investments). It may also appear in descriptions of timelines or budgets, where differentiating between planned and spontaneous elements is important.

Relation to related terms: plaaniline is closely connected to plan and planning vocabulary in Estonian, including terms like planeering, planeeritud, and planning processes. While planeeritud is another common way to express “planned,” plaaniline emphasizes the aspect of being governed by a plan or organized approach.
