tõusust

Tõusust is an Estonian word form tied to the concept of a rise, increase, or upward movement. It derives from the noun tõus (rise, ascent, growth) and is used when discussing the rise as a phenomenon, its causes, or its effects. In general, tõusust signals that the focus is on the rise itself or on something originating from or related to that rise.

Usage and contexts vary across fields. In economics, tõusust is common in expressions about growth or upturns in indicators, for example majanduse tõusust (the rise of the economy). In demography and biology it can refer to population growth or the growth of an organism. In everyday language it appears whenever a quantity, level, or intensity increases, such as prices, temperatures, or scores. The form also helps connect the idea of a rise with other elements in a sentence, especially after prepositions or in constructions that require a certain grammatical case.

Grammatical note: tõusust represents a specific inflected form used to express “about the rise” or “from the rise” depending on the sentence structure. It commonly occurs in sentences that discuss sources, extents, or discussions of upward change, and is frequent in news reporting, academic writing, and technical texts where rising trends are analyzed.
