teekonna

Teekonna is the genitive singular form of the Estonian noun teekond, meaning journey, trip, or travel. It is used to denote "of the journey" or to qualify nouns in phrases that describe a particular journey, such as teekonna algus ("the beginning of the journey") and teekonna lõpp ("the end of the journey").

Teekond refers to the act or process of traveling along a route, and can also be used metaphorically to describe a period of life, a project, or a development process. The genitive teekonna is common in both spoken and written Estonian and appears in works of fiction, travel writing, and historical or biographical texts.

Grammatically, teekonna is the genitive singular form; it is used with nouns that specify quantity or relation, and the standard plural and other cases follow the regular Estonian declension patterns for -kond nouns, though the exact forms depend on the case and number.
