psüühilisi

Psüühiline is an Estonian adjective meaning related to the psyche or mental life. It describes mental processes, emotions, cognition, motivation, and mental health. The inflected form psüühilisi appears when the adjective modifies a plural noun in certain cases (for example, psüühilisi omadusi). The base form psüühiline derives from psüühika (psyche) and the common Estonian suffix -iline.

In scientific and everyday language, psüühiline is used across psychology, psychiatry, education, medicine, and social sciences to denote aspects of the mind rather than the body. Common expressions include psüühilised protsessid (psychological processes), psüühilised omadused (psychological traits), and psüühiline tervis (mental health). The term helps distinguish mental phenomena from physical phenomena and is often contrasted with füüsiline (physical).

Notes: the term is broad and context-dependent; for precise descriptions, specialists use established psychological terms. psüühilisi is the partitive plural inflection of the adjective, used with plural nouns in that case; other inflected forms include psüühiliste (genitive plural) and psüühilise (genitive singular).
