Erakondadelt

Erakondadelt is the Estonian expression meaning “from the parties,” formed as the elative plural of the noun erakond (political party). It is used to indicate source or origin of information, statements, or actions that come from multiple political parties.

Grammatically, erakondadelt marks origin in the plural and is commonly used in political reporting and formal discourse. It contrasts with singular forms such as erakonnast (from the party) and with other cases that locate a source differently. The construction is typical when attributing content to several parties or when signaling that a reaction or decision originates with a group of parties rather than an individual.

Usage examples include: Erakondadelt laekusid vastused küsimustele. (Answers came from the parties.) Erakondadelt saadud teave viitas eelmisel nädalal toimunud arutelude tulemusele. (Information obtained from the parties pointed to the outcome of last week’s debates.) In news and official documents, the form helps attribute positions, statements, or data to a collective of parties rather than to a single actor.

Notes on nuance: Erakondadelt emphasizes collective attribution and is common in parliamentary reporting, coalition statements, or party-led announcements. For single-party attribution, other forms such as erakonnast or erakonnalt are used, depending on the exact meaning and syntactic role.

Overall, erakondadelt is a standard grammatical tool in Estonian for indicating source from multiple political parties in formal language.
