poliitilised

Poliitilised is a Estonian adjective meaning related to politics. It describes things connected with political life, government, policy, or ideology. The base form is poliitiline; poliitilised is the plural nominative form used with plural nouns. It appears in everyday language as well as in formal discourse to label topics such as decisions, events, or debates that concern politics.

Common collocations include poliitilised otsused (political decisions), poliitilised küsimused (political questions), poliitilised sündmused (political events), poliitilised reformid (political reforms), and poliitilised ideoloogiad (political ideologies). In academic and media contexts it contrasts with terms describing non-political domains, such as economic or cultural.

Etymology: poliitiline is formed from poliitika (politics) with the suffix -iline, creating adjectives. The word is borrowed from Greek roots via European languages and has been in Estonian political discourse since at least the 19th century, continuing into contemporary usage in media, education, and public life.

Usage notes: The term is generally neutral, though its connotation can shift with context or tone, as with many political descriptors. It is typically used to categorize subjects, actors, or processes as related to politics, and it agrees with the noun in number and case (for example, poliitilised sündmused, poliitiliste küsimuste).
