Elamisele

Elamisele is an Estonian linguistic term describing the allative form of the noun elamine, meaning living or habitation. In Estonian, the allative case marks direction toward a goal, institution, or concept, and elamisele is formed by adding the suffix -le to the stem associated with elamine. The result is a case form that translates roughly as “to living” or “to habitation,” depending on the context.

In practical use, elamisele is not a separate lexical item but a grammatical form used in written and formal language. It commonly appears in discussions about housing, urban planning, social policy, or linguistic descriptions where the concept of living arrangements or residence is being addressed. Because elamine denotes the act or state of living, elamisele can function as the target of actions, resources, or policy measures within sentences.

Examples of how elamisele might appear include phrases like “toetus elamisele” (support directed toward housing) or “elamisele suunatud programmid” (programs aimed at housing). The term is most frequently encountered in policy documents, statistical reports, or educational materials rather than in everyday speech.
