täieliku

Täieliku is the genitive singular form of the Estonian adjective täielik, meaning complete, full, or whole. It is used when describing a noun that is in the genitive case, serving as an attribute within a noun phrase.

In Estonian, adjectives decline according to case and number, so täielik changes form to match the noun it accompanies. The genitive singular form is täieliku, which precedes a genitive noun to express a complete or full characteristic of that noun. For example, phrases such as täieliku ruumi vajadus (the need for full space) or täieliku koolituse kestus (the duration of complete training) illustrate how the adjective aligns with the genitive noun.

Usage notes: täieliku is primarily a grammatical form used in descriptions where the modified noun is in the genitive. It is not a separate lexical entry with independent meaning beyond the adjective täielik. The word emphasizes totality or completeness and can appear in formal or written Estonian where precision of quantity or extent is required.

Etymology: täielik derives from the Estonian root täis (full) with a derivational suffix that forms adjectives meaning related to fullness or completeness. The genitive singular ending -iku reflects standard Estonian adjective inflection patterns.
