vastsündinul

Vastsündinul is an Estonian linguistic form, the adessive singular of the noun vastsündin, meaning a newborn baby. The word appears in sentences that refer to something related to or affecting the newborn, and is commonly found in medical, caregiving, and administrative contexts.

In Estonian grammar, vastsündin denotes a newborn, and the suffix -ul marks the adessive case, used to indicate a relation to a location, object, or subject in a sentence. When used as vastsündinul, the expression can convey meanings such as “on/at the newborn” or “to the newborn,” depending on the surrounding verb and construction. This form is typical in hospital notes, pediatric records, and caregiving documentation, where clinicians and caregivers specify information that concerns the newborn.

Usage and examples: The form appears in clinical and administrative language to denote facts about the newborn. For instance, a sentence might read, “Vastsündinul on hea seisund,” meaning “The newborn is in good condition.” It can also appear in notes that address care needs or monitoring requirements for the infant.

Related terms and concepts: Other Estonian forms related to the newborn include vastsündin (the newborn as a concept) and vastsündinud (newborn, recently born). In broader medical language, neonatal or neonatology terms are used, corresponding to the newborn-centric focus of the content.
