tegusõnalisest

Tegusõnalisest is an Estonian linguistic term used to describe a specific inflected form related to the word tegusõna (verb). In grammar discussions, it is associated with the verbal or deverbal domain and is most often encountered in scholarly descriptions of case and agreement patterns.

In practice, tegusõnalisest appears in phrases that indicate origin or source from a verbal form. The typical construction is the elative with a following noun in the genitive, for example tegusõnalisest vormist, meaning “from the verbal form.” This usage illustrates how Estonian marks relationships such as origin, source, or basis through case endings.

Etymology and function are conventional: tegusõnaline (verbal) provides the semantic core, while tegusõnalisest reflects the case-marking mechanism of Estonian. The form is primarily found in academic or descriptive grammar rather than everyday speech, where simpler adjectives or nouns are more common.
