terminaalsete

terminaalsete is the genitive plural form of the Estonian adjective terminiaalne, meaning terminal. It is a grammatical form used to modify a following noun in noun phrases, indicating a relational or descriptive sense such as “of terminals” or “terminal-” in compound expressions. As with other Estonian adjectives, terminiaalne declines to agree with the noun it describes in number and case, and the genitive plural form terminiaalsete appears when the accompanying noun is in genitive or when the phrase as a whole functions within a larger genitive construction.

In practice, terminiaalsete typically occurs in technical or infrastructural contexts where a noun is qualified by a terminal-related attribute. Examples include terminiaalsete seadmete paigutus (the arrangement of terminal devices) and terminiaalsete lahenduste kirjeldus (the description of terminal solutions). The form serves to link the concept of "terminal" to another noun, forming a single descriptive unit within a sentence or phrase.
