täielikku

Täielikku is an inflected form of the Estonian adjective täielik, which means "complete" or "total." In standard Estonian, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in case and number, so täielik appears in various forms. Täieliku is the genitive singular form, while täielikku is the partitive singular form. These forms are used when the noun they modify is in the genitive or partitive case, respectively.

Usage of täieliku and täielikku depends on the syntactic role of the noun in the sentence. The genitive form täieliku is typically found in noun phrases that express possession or relation, such as "täieliku lõpu tähendus" meaning "the meaning of a complete end." The partitive form täielikku is used before a noun in the partitive case, often in contexts involving indefinite quantities, ongoing processes, or verbs that require the partitive object, for example "ta otsib täielikku lõppu" meaning "he is seeking a complete end."

Etymology and morphology: täielikku and täieliku are derived from the root adjective täielik with standard Estonian case endings. This pattern—an adjective in genitive or partitive singular form preceding a noun—illustrates how Estonian adjectives inflect to mirror the noun’s case.

In summary, täielikku serves as the partitive singular form of täielik, and täieliku serves as the genitive singular form, both used to describe or relate to a noun within their respective grammatical contexts. See also täielik for the base form and general Estonian grammar for case agreement rules.
