Let M be a hypermodule over a hyperring R such that the intersection of any two subhypermodules of M, is a subhypermodule of M. We introduce the concept of an essential subhypermodule in M relative to an arbitrary subhypermodule T of M, which is called a T-essential subhypermodule of M. Our main goal in this work is to investigate properties of (relative) essential subhypermodules. We apply this concept to introduce extending hypermodules. Examples are provided to illustrate dierent concepts.
