regulatiivseid

Regulatiivseid is the partitive plural form of the Estonian adjective regulatiivne, meaning regulatory or regulative. It is used to describe a plural noun in the partitive case. The base form is regulatiivne; its plural nominative is regulatiivsed, and the partitive plural is regulatiivseid. Examples include regulatiivseid meetmeid (regulatory measures) and regulatiivseid nõudeid (regulatory requirements).

In grammar, regulatiivseid is formed from the stem regulati- with the adjectival suffix -ivne and the partitive plural ending -seid. This form follows standard Estonian adjective inflection rules. The word itself is derived from regulatsioon (regulation) and expresses attributes related to regulation or regulatory aspects.

Regulatiivseid is typically used in formal or technical language, such as legal, administrative, and scientific writing, where multiple regulatory items, aspects, or requirements are discussed without specifying a single item. It often appears in phrases that discuss regulatory frameworks, compliance requirements, or policy measures.

Usage notes: because it is an adjective in the partitive plural, regulatiivseid accompanies nouns in the partitive case or indefinite contexts. It is common in institutional documents, analyses, and reports that address regulatory concepts at a collective or non-specific level. The term helps distinguish discussions of regulation-related elements from non-regulatory ones.
