Kasutajatel

Kasutajatel is the plural adessive form of the Estonian noun kasutaja, meaning user. In Estonian grammar, the adessive case marks location or association and is commonly used with the verb olema (to be) to express possession. Consequently, kasutajatel is often translated as “the users have” in sentences that state rights, privileges, or capacities, or as “on/at the users” in location contexts.

Usage notes and examples reinforce its role as a plural possessive or locative form. For example, Kasutajatel on õigus teha muudatusi translates to “The users have the right to make changes.” Another example is Kasutajatel on ligipääs uuele funktsioonile, meaning “The users have access to the new feature.” A sentence like Andmed on kasutajatel nähtavad means “The data is visible to the users,” illustrating how the form can express visibility or accessibility to a group.

Kasutajatel is one of several inflected forms derived from kasutaja. Related forms include kasutaja (singular nominative), kasutajal (singular adessive), kasutajate (genitive plural), and kasutajaid (partitive plural). These forms reflect Estonian’s case system and the way nouns adapt to indicate number and grammatical role in a sentence.
