struktuuridest

Struktuuridest is the Estonian elative plural form of the noun struktuur, meaning “from structures.” The elative case in Estonian expresses origin or source, and the plural ending -dest marks the origin as coming from multiple structures. The form is commonly used in academic and technical texts to indicate where data, features, or phenomena originate.

The word functions as a phrase element that identifies the source of information or properties. It can combine with verbs or nouns in sentences that describe origins or basis. Typical contexts include scientific analysis, engineering discussions, and data interpretation, where researchers attribute findings to the underlying structures. For example, struktuuridest pärinevad andmed refers to data that originate from the structures in question, and analyses might be framed as based on struktuuridest pärinevate andmete patterns.

In Estonian, struktuuridest is one part of a broader system of case marking. Other related forms include the nominative struktuurid (structures) and the genitive or partitive forms used in different syntactic constructions. The elative plural often appears with nouns denoting sources, origins, or starting points, helping to specify where information comes from or what it is derived from.
