tüüpilistes

Tüüpilistes is the inessive plural form of the Estonian adjective tüüpiline, meaning typical. It is used to refer to “in typical ones” or “in typical situations” when describing patterns, characteristics, or phenomena across contexts. Like other adjectives, tüüpiline agrees with the noun in number and case, and tüüpilistes marks plural inessive.

Morphology and usage: The form tüüpilistes is created from the stem tüüpiline- plus the plural inessive suffix -istes. It is used with plural nouns in the inessive case, for example when speaking about conditions or contexts that are considered typical. This allows writers to discuss common or representative instances without specifying a particular noun.

Common contexts: Tüüpilistes is found in descriptive or analytical Estonian texts, including social sciences, data analysis, and general explanations of patterns. It signals that the discussion concerns normal or representative cases rather than exceptional ones.

Examples:

- Tüüpilistes olukordades reageerivad inimesed sageli kiiremini kui ootuspäraselt.

- Uuring näitas tüüpilistes andmekogumites esinevaid mustrid, mis võivad peegeldada üldiseid trende.

See also: Related forms include tüüpiline (singular, “typical”) and tüüpilised (nominative plural, “typical [ones]”). The term is primarily used in formal or academic writing to frame generalizations about common cases.
