süstemaatilisi

Süstemaatilisi is an Estonian adjective form that appears in front of plural nouns in the partitive case. It is the partitive plural form of the base adjective süstemaatiline, which means systematic or methodical. In Estonian grammar, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case, so süstemaatilisi is used when a plural noun is in the partitive.

Common contexts for süstemaatilisi are academic and scientific writing, where authors describe actions, data, or approaches that are organized and methodical. Examples include süstemaatilisi meetodeid (systematic methods), süstemaatilisi andmeid (systematic data), and süstemaatilisi lähenemisi (systematic approaches). The form helps convey that the items are part of a structured or repeatable process rather than a general or non-specific set.

Relation to other forms is a natural part of Estonian grammar. For nominative plural (the base, uninflected form used in dictionaries), the adjective would be süstemaatilised; for other cases or numbers, different endings apply, such as süstemaatiliste or süstemaatilistele, depending on the sentence structure. The word is closely related to the noun süstemaatika (systematics), which refers to the field or study of systematic classification and relationships, particularly in biology, taxonomy, and related disciplines.

In summary, süstemaatilisi is a routine Estonian form used to describe multiple items in a partitive context as being systematic, and it is frequently encountered in scholarly language. See also süstemaatika and related methodological terms.
