tulemuste

Tulemuste is the genitive plural form of the Estonian noun tulemus, meaning a result or outcome. It is used to indicate possession or association with the results, and to form noun phrases that describe or refer to those results. The nominative plural form is tulemused, while the genitive plural is tulemuste. In practice, tulemuste appears in phrases such as katse tulemuste analüüs (analysis of the experiment results), hääletustulemuste statistika (statistics of the election results), and uuringu tulemuste aruanne (report on the study results).

The term is widely used across domains where results are reported or summarized, including scientific research, surveys, education, sports, and government reporting. Common constructions include tulemuste esitamine (presentation of results), tulemuste kirjeldus (description of results), and tulemuste tõlgendamine (interpretation of the results). Because tulemuste is a genitive plural, it typically follows another noun that specifies what is being described or analyzed, rather than standing alone.

In writing, korrekt usage emphasizes clarity and accuracy about what the results pertain to, and it often appears together with methodology, sample size, and limitations. For example, a report might present tulemuste analüüs koos metoodikaga (analysis of the results along with the methodology) or discuss tulemuste piirangud (limitations of the results). Overall, tulemuste is a standard grammatical form for referencing the outcomes of investigations, measurements, or activities in Estonian. See also tulemus and tulemused for related forms.
