Eelarvesse

Eelarvesse is an Estonian term used in budgeting and public administration. It is the illative form of the noun eelarve, meaning into the budget or into the budget framework. The term is commonly found in official documents, parliamentary debates, and media coverage to indicate that a proposed expenditure, project, or measure is planned to be funded in the upcoming budget cycle.

Etymology and meaning: Eelarve refers to a budget, typically the upcoming or draft budget. The prefix eel- means “before,” and the illative ending -sse signals movement into something. Therefore eelarvesse conveys the idea of something being included in or allocated for the budget.

Usage: Eelarvesse is used with verbs and constructions that describe inclusion or allocation to the budget. Examples include lisatakse eelarvesse (added to the budget) and viiakse eelarvesse (brought into the budget). It is applied in contexts involving state budgets, municipal budgets, and organizational or corporate budgeting during the planning and approval of the next financial period.

Context: The term is most common in formal budgeting processes, such as the preparation and approval of the national state budget (riigieelarve) and local government budgets. It helps clarify which items are intended to be funded in a future budget framework.
