ülevaateid

Ülevaateid is the Estonian plural form of ülevaade, a term that generally means an overview, survey, or summary. The word denotes a collection of concise syntheses that cover a broader topic, set of sources, or range of information. In usage, ülevaateid signals breadth and integration rather than a single, critical assessment.

The term appears across different domains. In academic contexts it is common in phrases such as kirjanduse ülevaateid (literature reviews) or uuringu ülevaateid (survey overviews), where the aim is to summarize existing knowledge or data. In media and public discourse it may refer to compilations that present a broad picture of a subject, for example tooteülevaateid (product overviews) or turuülevaateid (market overviews). Government and organizational reporting also use ülevaateid to describe synthesized summaries of programs, findings, or performance indicators.

Ülevaateid is typically used in neutral, informative or descriptive tones. It contrasts with arvustus or kriitika, which emphasize critique or evaluation; ülevaade concentrates on coverage and synthesis. Because it is a generic term, it often appears in titles, headings, or compound forms that specify the domain of the overview.

Related concepts include ülevaade (singular), kirjanduse ülevaade (literature overview), and muud tüüpi ülevaated that designate overviews in specific fields.
