põllumajanduslike

Põllumajanduslike is an Estonian adjective form derived from põllumajandus, meaning agriculture or farming. The base adjective põllumajanduslik denotes something related to agriculture, farming, or agricultural activity. The form põllumajanduslike is used with plural nouns in certain grammatical cases (for example genitive or partitive) and does not carry an independent meaning beyond the adjective itself. It appears in phrases describing agricultural-related things when the accompanying noun is in a plural form.

Etymology and morphology: the word combines põllumajandus (agriculture, farming) with the common Estonian adjective suffix -lik, which yields meanings such as “agricultural” or “agriculture-related.” In Estonian, adjectives are declined to agree with the noun they modify, so põllumajanduslik takes different endings depending on number and case; põllumajanduslike is one such inflected form used with plural nouns in certain cases.

Usage: põllumajanduslike is frequently found in official, academic, and industry contexts to describe things connected with farming and agriculture when referring to multiple items. For example, põllumajanduslike toodete eksport means the export of agricultural products, and põllumajanduslike ettevõtete arv refers to the number of agricultural companies. The term is common in statistical reports, policy documents, and research related to the agricultural sector.

In summary, põllumajanduslike is a plural-inflected adjective form used in Estonian to describe things related to agriculture when the associated noun is plural in the relevant case. It reflects standard grammatical agreement rather than a separate lexical concept.
