Haldajatele

Haldajatele is the Estonian inflected form of the noun haldaja, meaning custodian, administrator, or guardian, used to indicate the recipient or beneficiary of an action. It represents the plural form used for indirect objects in sentences that require indicating “to the custodians” or “for the custodians.”

In usage, haldajatele appears in contexts where something is directed toward multiple custodians or administrators. It is common in formal or administrative language, such as official correspondence, reports, or legal documents, when addressing or referencing multiple recipients. The form helps specify the recipients of a document, instruction, or communication.

Formally, haldajatele is derived from haldaja with a suffix that marks the intended indirect object in plural. The construction is part of standard Estonian grammar, mirroring similar patterns used to indicate beneficiaries or recipients in ditransitive verbs (for example, forwarding, presenting, or informing actions).

Examples include sentences like: Dokumente tuleb esitada haldajatele (The documents must be submitted to the custodians). Palun võtke ühendust haldajatele (Please contact the custodians). Such usage underscores the role of haldajatele as the target audience for actions or communications.
