sertifikaatides

Sertifikaatides is an Estonian grammatical form—the inessive plural of the noun sertifikaat, meaning certificates. In plain translation, sertifikaatides corresponds to “in the certificates” or “within the certificates,” and it is used to describe location or content found inside multiple certificates.

As a morphological form, sertifikaatides is derived from the plural nominative sertifikaadid by applying the inessive plural ending. This inflection is part of the broader Estonian case system, which marks where something is located, state, or exists. The form helps specify that information, statements, or items are contained within the certificates rather than outside them.

Typical usage occurs in archival, regulatory, legal, or quality-control contexts where documents are organized into a set of certificates. For example, one might say that certain data are "esitatud sertifikaatides" (presented in the certificates) or that findings are "kirjeldatud sertifikaatides" (described in the certificates). The phrase sertifikaatides is thus a precise linguistic tool for referencing content embedded in a collection of certificates.

Related forms include sertifikaat (singular), sertifikaadid (nominative plural), and sertifikaatide (genitive plural). Understanding sertifikaatides helps with reading formal Estonian texts that discuss multiple documents or certificates and their contents without ambiguity about their location.
