Esitajatele

Esitajatele is an Estonian word form derived from the noun esitaja, which means a person who presents or performs, such as a contestant, artist, or presenter. Esitajatele is used to indicate the indirect object in a sentence, typically translating to “to the performers” or “for the performers.” It is the plural form used for recipients in contexts involving multiple individuals who present or perform.

In usage, esitajatele appears in event instructions, competition rules, and official communications to address or refer to the performers or presenters as a group. The form signals that actions, information, or obligations are directed toward the performers rather than the performers themselves as subjects of the verb.

Examples help illustrate its function. Esitajatele on antud tähtaeg means a deadline has been given to the performers. Esitajatele on saadetud kava refers to a program or schedule having been sent to the performers. Such constructions show how esitajatele marks the beneficiary or addressee in administrative or organizational language.

Notes on nuance: esitajatele and related forms are part of standard Estonian inflection and rely on context to determine whether the sense is “to,” “for,” or in some cases a more indirect beneficiary relation. Related terms include esitaja (singular) and esitajad (plural), as well as verbs esitada and esitamine, which describe the act of presenting or performing.
