projektide

Projektide is the genitive plural (and partitive plural) form of the Estonian noun projekt, meaning “projects” or, in possessive contexts, “of the projects.” In Estonian grammar, genitive plural forms are used to express possession or association with multiple items, as in projektide eelarved (“the budgets of the projects”) or projektide nimekiri (“a list of projects”). The nominative plural is projektid, while the genitive singular is projekti and the genitive plural is projektide.

In usage, projektide is commonly used after prepositions or adjectives to describe features or relations involving more than one project. Examples include projektide juhtimine (“project management”), projektide portfell (“project portfolio”), and projektide ülevaade (“overview of the projects”). It also occurs in phrases indicating ownership: projektide eesmärgid (“the goals of the projects”) and projektide riskid (“the risks of the projects”). The form is not capitalized unless it begins a sentence or is part of a proper noun.

The term projekt is a loanword in Estonian, borrowed from German Projekt and influenced by the English word project, reflecting the long-standing use of the concept in technical and business language. The genitive plural -ide is a productive ending in Estonian for forming relational phrases with a plural noun.

In sum, projektide serves as a grammatical marker for relationships involving multiple projects and is a common component in business, engineering, and academic texts in Estonian.
