Ülevaates

Ülevaates is the inessive singular form of the Estonian noun ülevaade, meaning “overview” or “survey.” It is used to express location within a document or discourse, translating roughly to “in the overview.” The form is primarily encountered in formal, academic, or administrative texts when referring to material that is summarized or described in the overview section.

In usage, ülevaates functions as a location phrase. Estonian uses case endings to indicate relationships, and ülevaates marks “in the overview.” It is typically found in sentences that discuss content that appears or is described in the overview, such as sections of reports, summaries, or introductory material. The expression helps link statements to the portion of a text that provides an overall summary.

Example: Ülevaates on kirjeldatud peamised jooned. Translated: The main features are described in the overview.

Related forms of the noun include ülevaade (the base form), with other cases such as ülevaate (genitive) or ülevaadet (partitive). The word is part of standard Estonian grammar and is most useful in contexts where references to summarized material or sections of a document are needed.
