Esilinastusele

Esilinastusele is an Estonian grammatical form derived from the noun esilinastus, which means the premiere or first screening of a film, play, or other performance. The suffix -le marks the allative case, indicating direction toward a destination. Thus esilinastusele translates roughly as “to the premiere” and is used to express movement toward, or attendance at, a premiere.

Etymology and grammar: The word combines esilinastus with the allative suffix -le, creating a form that specifies destination. It exemplifies how Estonian uses case endings to convey spatial and directional relationships with nouns.

Usage: Esilinastusele is used in sentences that describe going to or being headed to a premiere. Example: Ta läheb esilinastusele meaning “He is going to the premiere.” It is common in written language such as news reports, event programs, and promotional text to indicate the destination of an action related to premieres.

Notes: Esilinastusele signals the destination of an action rather than the event itself. Other forms of the noun esilinastus (such as nominative esilinastus or partitive esilinastust) express different grammatical relations and syntactic roles.
