Ametikohtale

Ametikohtale is the Estonian allative form of the noun ametikoht, meaning a job position or official post. The form is used to express direction toward a workplace or post, and appears in contexts related to employment, official duties, or where someone is headed to their post.

In grammar, ametikohtale is formed by adding the allative suffix -le to ametikoht. The allative indicates motion toward or the place of a particular post. The corresponding elative form ametikohtalt means “from the post.” In plural usage, related forms would follow the general Estonian pattern for allative plurals.

Usage typically involves verbs of motion or activity linked to a workplace or office. For example, Ta läks ametikohtale, et alustada tööpäeva means “He went to his post to begin the workday.” The phrase ametikohtale asumine refers to the act of assuming a post or office, often used in formal or administrative contexts.

Ametikoht as a base word combines amet (office, duty) with koht (place), and the allative form highlights the directional sense toward the place where one performs official duties. The term is common in government, public administration, and HR language, as well as in biographical or career-related descriptions.

See also: ametikoht, ametikohatööd (office duties), ametikohtalt (from the post). In translation, ametikohtale is typically rendered as “to the post” or “to the job site,” depending on context.
