Katkestusele

Katkestusele is an Estonian noun form that functions as the allative case of the word katkestus, which means interruption, outage, or fault. In Estonian grammar, the allative ending -le is used to indicate direction toward something or the recipient of an action. Thus katkestusele is used when the interruption is treated as the event or object that is being referred to, analyzed, or acted upon.

The base noun katkestus covers interruptions in various domains, including electrical outages, network disruptions, and general service interruptions, as well as disruptions within processes or activities. The term is common in technical, administrative, and media language, where an outage or interruption is a focal point of discussion or reporting.

In practice, katkestusele appears in written Estonian to indicate the outage as a topic. It is found in incident reports, maintenance logs, public notices, and technical analyses where attention is directed toward the interruption itself and its implications rather than the cause alone. The form helps organize statements around the event that interrupts normal operation.

Related terms include katkestus (the noun for interruption) and verbs such as katkestama (to interrupt) or katkestunud (interrupted). The allative -le is one of several Estonian case endings used to express direction, focus, or target of an action, and katkestusele exemplifies its use with a noun referring to an event.
