riskidest

Riskidest is an Estonian noun form used to refer to risks in the plural and in the elative case, meaning movement from or origin related to the risks. It translates roughly as “from the risks” or “out of the risks.” The form is created from the base noun risk (borrowed from English) with the plural genitive riskide and the elative suffix used for plural nouns.

In usage, riskidest appears in statements about sources, causes, or consequences that involve multiple risks. Common constructions include riskidest lähtuvad otsused (decisions that arise from risks) and riskidest tulenevad mõjud (effects arising from risks). The form enables speakers to discuss risk-related considerations at a collective level rather than focusing on a single risk.

Estonian grammar treats riskidest as one of the standard plural cases for a borrowed noun. Its exact frequency and nuance depend on the discourse domain; it is particularly common in risk assessment, economics, journalism, and policy analysis, where multiple risk factors are routinely considered together. Understanding riskidest helps in expressing how various risks influence outcomes, decisions, and communications.
