Kahjustusele

Kahjustusele is an Estonian noun form, specifically the allative (dative) singular of the word kahjus­tus, which means damage or injury. In Estonian, the allative suffix -le is used to indicate direction toward something or the recipient of an action. Therefore kahjustusele translates roughly as “to the damage” or “to the injury,” depending on context.

Grammatically, kahjustus forms with the allative suffix to produce kahjustusele in the singular. The corresponding plural form is kahjustustele. This inflection pattern follows general Estonian rules for nouns that denote abstract concepts or events and that take an allative case to mark the recipient or target of an action.

Usage and context-wise, kahjustusele appears in formal or technical language, including legal, insurance, and regulatory texts. It is used when an action, claim, or obligation is directed toward the concept of damage or injuries, or when discussing compensation, liability, or assessments related to damage. In such contexts, the phrase effectively centers on the damage as the object or focus of discussion.

Related terms include kahju (damage or harm) and kahjustus (the abstract concept of damage or injury). The allative form kahjustusele is one inflected variant within a broader system of Estonian noun cases used to convey direction, recipient, or target in sentences.
