visuaalseid

The form is used to modify plural nouns in the partitive case, and it appears in phrases that refer to visual content, materials, or elements. This reflects how Estonian adjectives agree with the noun in number and case.

For example, visuaalseid materjale means “visual materials,” visuaalseid pilte means “visual pictures,” and visuaalseid elemente means “visual elements.” The exact translation into English depends on the noun it modifies, but the core idea is that something is of a visual nature and considered in a partitive, often indefinite, sense.

Context and relevance. The form is common in discussions of design, education, media, and information presentation, where speakers refer to visual content or visual materials in a non-counting or partial sense. It helps express quantity or scope without specifying a definite amount, which is typical of partitive constructions in Estonian.
