tulemust

Tulemus is an Estonian noun meaning result, outcome, or effect. It is used to refer to the end result of a process, experiment, decision, or evaluation, and can denote both concrete outputs and more abstract implications. In everyday and technical language, tulemus appears in phrases such as eksperimentide tulemus (the result of the experiments) or projekti tulemused (the project results).

In various domains the word carries slightly different nuances. In science and research, tulemus highlights measurable findings or observed outcomes. In project management and evaluation, it can refer to the overall performance or the conclusions drawn from data. The term is common in reporting, summaries, and analyses, where it often contrasts expected or planned outcomes with what was actually achieved.

Morphology and usage notes: tulemus is the lemma. The word has several inflected forms, for example tulemused (nominative plural) and tulemuse (genitive singular). The form tulemust is the partitive or sometimes accusative-like singular, used after verbs or in constructions requiring a partitive object, such as näitab tulemust (shows the result). This flexibility makes tulemus a frequent choice in both formal reporting and everyday speech.
