versioonidel

Versioonidel is the Estonian plural adessive form of the noun versioon (version). Literally meaning “on the versions,” it is used to express location, scope, or applicability across multiple versions of a product, document, or text. The form is built from the stem versioon plus the plural adessive ending -idel; the singular adessive form is versioonil, and related forms include versioonide (genitive plural) and versioonidele (allative plural).

Usage of versioonidel is common in technical writing, software release notes, and product documentation. It typically appears with adjectives describing the versions, such as erinevatel versioonidel (on different versions), vanematel versioonidel (on older versions), or uutel versioonidel (on newer versions). The phrase signals that a statement applies across several versions rather than a single one, and it is often used when comparing features, behavior, or documentation across releases.

Examples:

- Erinevatel versioonidel võivad funktsioonid olla erinevad.

- Uuendused on lisatud erinevatel versioonidel.

- Selle juhendi sisu kehtib erinevatel versioonidel.

Etymology and context:

Versioon is a loanword in Estonian derived from the global term “version.” Versioonidel, as a grammatical form, reflects Estonian’s rich case and number system and is used whenever the discussion concerns multiple versions rather than a single edition.
