Epidemioloogilisele

Epidemioloogilisele is a form of the Estonian adjective epidemioloogiline, meaning epidemiological or relating to epidemiology. It is the allative singular form that is used before a noun in the allative case, indicating direction toward or relevance to that noun in contexts such as research, studies, or data.

In practice, epidemioloogilisele appears in phrases where the noun it modifies is in the allative case. Examples include epidemioloogilisele uuringule (to an epidemiological study), epidemioloogilisele andmestikule (to an epidemiological dataset), or epidemioloogilisele riskile (to an epidemiological risk). These constructions are common in scientific, public health, and policy-writing where the focus is framed as directed toward or pertinent to epidemiology.

Grammatically, epidemioloogilisele behaves like other Estonian adjectives: its form changes to reflect the case and number of the noun it describes. The allative singular form, epidemioloogilisele, is used specifically when the noun is in the allative case (often translated as “to/for” or indicating direction toward that noun in English).

The term does not denote a separate field or concept beyond its grammatical function; rather, it is a case-inflected form that enables precise expression of epidemiological context in sentences. Related terms include epidemioloogia (epidemiology) and epidemioloogiline (epidemiological in the base form).
