Elektrilistele

Elektrilistele is an Estonian grammatical form of the adjective elektriline, meaning electrical. It is the plural allative case form, used with plural nouns to express a direction toward or a purpose for the plural noun phrase. In Estonian, the allative suffix is -le; thus elektrilistele is formed from the plural stem elektrilised plus -le. The form is one of several case-inflected variants that adjectives can take to agree with the noun they modify.

A key point is that elektrilistele is not a standalone word with a fixed meaning. It functions as part of a noun phrase and only occurs when the noun it modifies is plural and in the allative case. For example, elektrilistele tarvikutele means “to electrical accessories,” and elektrilistele seadmetele means “to electrical devices.” These phrases occur in contexts such as product descriptions, procurement texts, and regulatory language, where goods or recipients are specified.

In contrast, elektriliste (without the -le) is the genitive plural form and has a different syntactic use. The two forms can be visually similar, so context determines the exact case and meaning. Common collocations include elektrilistele tarvikutele, elektrilistele seadmetele, elektrilistele toodetele, and elektrilistele klientidele.

Summary: elektrilistele is the plural allative inflection of elektriline, used to indicate direction toward or for multiple electrical items within a noun phrase. It appears mainly in technical, commercial, and regulatory Estonian texts.
