Kliendilt

Kliendilt is an Estonian elative case form of the noun kliend (klient), meaning “from the client.” It is used to indicate origin or source, typically in formal or professional language. In everyday and written Estonian, the word appears in contexts where information, instructions, or materials originate from the client.

Kliendilt is commonly found in business, legal, and customer-service texts. It often accompanies words for information, feedback, documents, or data, signaling that these come from the client rather than another source. The form is part of standard Estonian declension, using the elative suffix -lt to express starting point or origin.

Usage examples include:

- Kliendilt saadud teave peab olema täpne ja konfidentsiaalne. (The information obtained from the client must be accurate and confidential.)

- Kohtuistungil kuulati kliendilt esitatud tõendeid. (Evidence presented by the client was heard at the hearing.)

- Kliendilt pärinev tagasiside on oluline ettevõtte parenduste jaoks. (Feedback originating from the client is important for improvements.)

Etymology and relation to other forms: kliendilt derives from the noun kliend/klient, a loanword used for “client” or “customer.” The elative form contrasts with other cases such as the genitive or partitive, which express possession or different grammatical relationships rather than origin.
