tüüpidel

Tüüpidel is an Estonian phrase that translates roughly as "by types" or "on the types." It is formed from the noun tüüp (type) and a plural relational ending, and it appears in contexts where multiple types are being discussed or compared. In scholarly and technical writing the form signals that a statement applies across several type categories rather than to a single type.

Use and scope

In linguistics, information science, and classification work, tüüpidel is used to frame observations, properties, or rules that pertain to multiple types. For example, a discussion of features that are typical on types A, B and C might introduce a section or sentence with phrasing that uses tüüpidel to indicate the scope covers all those types. The exact meaning depends on surrounding words and case inflections, as Estonian morphology relies on endings to convey relational context.

Relation to classification and data modeling

The phrase often appears when describing taxonomy, data models, or type hierarchies, where items are grouped into several type categories. Writers may use tüüpidel to contrast characteristics across types or to summarize how a property behaves across the set of types under consideration. It is a functional expression rather than a standalone technical term, and its interpretation is guided by context.
