üldpõhjendustega

üldpõhjendustega is an Estonian phrase used in formal writing to describe something that is accompanied by general, overarching justification. The word combines üld- (general) with põhjendused (grounds or justifications) and attaches a comitative suffix, yielding the sense “with general justifications.”

In legal, administrative, and academic contexts the expression characterizes a document, decision, or argument that provides broad reasoning intended to support conclusions across multiple cases or contexts. It often indicates that the justification emphasizes general principles or policy considerations rather than a detailed, case-specific recitation of facts. The presence of general grounds can accompany more specific elements, but the emphasis remains on an overarching justification.

Usage examples typically occur in formal texts such as court opinions, official reports, or policy documents. A ruling described as having üldpõhjendustega signals that the court or author provides a general rationale in addition to any case-specific considerations. Similarly, a report or proposal may be presented koos üldpõhjendustega, meaning it includes general arguments alongside other content.

Related terms include põhjus or põhjendus (reason or justification) and detailne põhjendus (detailed justification). The contrast between general and detailed justification is common in administrative language, where general grounds set the frame or policy basis, while specific facts account for individual decisions.

Etymologically, the word is formed from üld- (general) and põhjendus (justification), with the plural comitative suffix -ustega, yielding the meaning “with general justifications.” It remains primarily a formal, specialized term rather than everyday language.
