Hindamisele

Hindamisele is an Estonian linguistic form derived from the noun hindamine, which means evaluation, assessment, or appraisal. Hindamisele is the allative case form used to indicate direction toward the evaluation or the target of an evaluation. In practice, it appears in formal texts to express that something is to be or has been sent to, or is subject to, evaluation.

Etymology and grammar

The base word hindamine comes from the verb hindama, “to evaluate.” The allative form hindamisele combines hindamine with the allative ending -le, signaling movement toward or purpose of evaluation. This form is common in administrative, legal, and procurement language, where it marks the recipient or focus of the assessment process. It contrasts with other cases of the same noun (e.g., hindamine, hindamisega, hindamiseks) that convey different syntactic relations.

Usage

Hindamisele is used to describe actions directed at the evaluation stage or process. Examples include:

- Taotlused on hindamisele saadetud. (The applications have been sent for evaluation.)

- Hindamisele suunatud dokumente tuleb esitada tähtaegselt. (Documents directed to the evaluation must be submitted on time.)

- Hindamisele kuuluvad kriteeriumid on jälgitavad ja selgelt kirjeldatud. (The criteria subject to evaluation are traceable and clearly described.)

Context and nuances

As a formal, bureaucratic construction, hindamisele appears primarily in institutional communication, such as tenders, grant applications, audit, and regulatory filings. It is interchangeable with related phrases like hindamise eesmärgiga or hindamise kohta, depending on the exact syntactic needs. Understanding hindamisele helps parse sentences that specify the target or subject of an assessment within Estonian official prose.
