ühesugused

Ühesugused is an Estonian adjective form meaning the same, identical, or alike. It is the plural nominative form used when describing more than one noun. The base form is ühesugune, which denotes sameness in a given feature or characteristic.

Etymology: The word derives from the concept of one and the same, built with the suffix -sugune, a common derivational ending in Estonian for forming adjectives that describe similarity or sameness. It is related to other Estonian terms such as sarnane (similar) and identne (identical).

Usage: Ühesugused describes objects that share the same properties, appearance, or type. It implies equality in the described aspect. It contrasts with sarnane, which signals general resemblance without asserting exact sameness. In grammar, the word inflects to agree with the noun in number and case, so ühesugused is the nominative plural form; other forms include ühesuguse (genitive singular) and ühesugust (partitive singular).

Examples: Kaks ühesugust tassi. These statements illustrate how ühesugused is used to indicate sameness across multiple items. Need dokumendid on ühesugused. This shows the phrase applied to a plural noun phrase in a sentence.
