varustusi

Varustusi is the Estonian partitive plural form of the noun varustus, meaning equipment, gear, or outfit. In Estonian, varustus denotes the set of items necessary to perform a task or activity, including tools, clothing, supplies, and accessories. The term is used across a range of contexts, such as military logistics, sports, camping, filmmaking, and emergency preparedness.

The partitive plural form varustusi is used when the quantity is indefinite or when describing an unspecified amount of equipment. For example, it can appear in inventory notes, procurement discussions, or generic statements about needs. Related forms include varustus (singular) and varustused (nominative plural).

Usage notes emphasize correct case and number agreement with verbs and prepositions in Estonian. Varustusi commonly appears in constructions that express need, availability, or collection of equipment, such as "Meil on vaja varustusi" (We need equipment) or "Laos on mitmeid varustusi" (There are several pieces of equipment in stock).

Etymology traces varustus to the native Estonian lexicon, with cognates in related Finnic languages. The concept of varustus encompasses both functional tools and apparel, as well as the overall outfit required for a specific activity or role. In everyday language, varustus can refer to either a complete outfit for work or sport or the broader set of equipment associated with a task or event.
