suurendavaid

Suurendavaid is the present active participle form of the Estonian verb suurendama, meaning to increase or enlarge. As a participle, suurendav describes actions or effects that are increasing, and suurendavaid is the plural partitive form used to modify a noun in contexts where the noun is in the partitive case.

Morphology and usage

Suurendav forms decline like adjectives and agree with the noun they modify in number and case. The specific form suurendavaid marks plural and partitive, and it typically occurs before a noun in the partitive case, for example with phrases such as suurendavaid meetmeid (increasing measures) or suurendavaid andmeid (data that increase). The construction functions attributively, similar to a relative clause in English, and can also appear in predicative or verbal-periphrastic contexts when describing results or effects of actions.

Examples

- Suurendavaid meetmeid rakendatakse tootlikkuse suurendamiseks. (Increasing measures are being implemented to raise productivity.)

- Projekti tulemuste hindamiseks koguti suurendavaid andmeid. (Data that increase were collected to evaluate project results.)

- Ta kirjeldas suurendavaid mõjusid, mida investeering avaldas. (He described increasing effects produced by the investment.)

Notes

Suurendavaid is a specialized grammatical form tied to Estonian morphology and is most common in technical, scientific, or administrative language where descriptions of increasing actions, effects, or measures are frequent. Understanding its usage requires recognizing its role as a modifier in the partitive plural, aligning with the noun it describes.
