äriühingul

äriühingul is the adessive singular form of the Estonian noun äriühing, meaning a business company or corporation. It is used to indicate location or possession in sentences with the verb olema (to be) or other copular constructions, where the subject or possessor is marked in the adessive case. For example: äriühingul on kohustused (the corporation has obligations) or äriühingul on plaan kapitali suurendamiseks (the corporation has a plan to increase capital). In such uses, äriühingul signals that the entity in question possesses the stated item or attribute.

In everyday and legal language, äriühingul appears in contexts describing what the company holds, owes, or plans to do. It contrasts with äriühingu, the genitive form used to express ownership more directly, as in äriühingu varad (the corporation’s assets). The choice of case depends on grammatical construction and emphasis.

Estonian nouns change form across cases to express relationships such as location, direction, or possession. Other case forms of äriühing include äriühingus (in the corporation), äriühingule (to the corporation), and äriühingu (of the corporation). The adessive äriühingul is one of several tools used to articulate how entities relate to actions, obligations, or attributes within sentences.
