seismoloogilist

Seismoloogilist is an Estonian adjective meaning seismological or related to seismology. It is formed from the noun seismoloogia (the science of seismology) and the common Estonian adjectival suffix -line. The base form seismoloogiline corresponds to “seismological,” while seismoloogilist is the partitive singular form used when the noun it modifies is in partitive or in certain constructions with indefinite references. Adjectives in Estonian agree with the nouns they modify in number and case, and seismoloogiline inflects accordingly.

In usage, seismoloogilist typically appears in scientific or technical contexts to describe data, methods, or phenomena. Examples include seismoloogilist teavet (seismological information), seismoloogilise uurimise tulemused (the results of a seismological investigation), and seismoloogiliste seadmete kasutamine (the use of seismological instruments). The form seismoloogilist is commonly seen with partitive singular nouns such as teavet or andmeid, where the object of a verb is indefinite or not fully determined.

The term is widely used in Estonian scientific literature, especially in reports, articles, and datasets dealing with earthquake processes, seismic hazard assessment, and instrumentation. Related terms include seismoloogia (the science itself) and seismoloogiline as a general descriptor in geophysics and related disciplines.
