Ajastamisele

Ajastamisele is the allative form of the Estonian noun ajastamine, which denotes timing, scheduling, or time management. The base noun ajastamine refers to the practice or process of arranging events, deadlines, or sequences in time. The allative suffix -le in ajastamisele marks direction toward a timing-related target or domain, and it appears in verb constructions where timing is the object or focus of the action.

In usage, ajastamisele is typically found in technical and professional contexts such as project management, broadcasting, manufacturing, and software development. It is used to indicate that a procedure, decision, or discussion concerns timing or scheduling. For example, a sentence like meeskond keskendus ajastamisele (the team focused on timing) shows how the form functions in a verb phrase. Another example might reference decisions or tasks directed toward timing considerations, such as projekti ajastamisele pööratakse rohkem tähelepanu (more attention is given to project timing).

Linguistically, ajastamisele is part of a family that includes the verb ajastama (to time, to schedule) and the noun ajastamine (timing, scheduling). It illustrates how Estonian uses cases to express grammatical relationships, with the allative form indicating the target of an action or the area under consideration. Related terms include ajastus (timing) and ajastust (of timing, genitive form in certain constructions).
