Distsipliinidele

Distsipliinidele is a grammatical form in Estonian. It represents the allative plural of the noun distsipliin, meaning discipline or field of study. The form is used to indicate direction toward or a target group in a sentence, and it appears frequently in academic, administrative, and policy-related texts when referring to multiple disciplines.

Formation and meaning: The base form distsipliinid is the plural nominative of distsipliin. To express “to the disciplines” or “for the disciplines,” the allative plural suffix -idele is added, yielding distsipliinidele. This construction marks destination, recipients, or target groups in contexts where actions are directed at several disciplines rather than a single one.

Usage notes: Distsipliinidele is commonly found with verbs and adjectives that govern the allative case, such as suunatud (aimed at), mõeldud (intended for), or jagatud (distributed to). In policy, funding, and program descriptions, the form specifies the disciplines that are the focus or beneficiaries of an action.

Examples:

- Projekti rahastus on suunatud distsipliinidele. (The project funding is aimed at the disciplines.)

- Koolitusprogrammid on mõeldud distsipliinidele. (The training programs are intended for the disciplines.)
