Kontoritele

Kontoritele is an Estonian word form that functions as the allative plural of the noun kontor, which means "office." It is used to indicate direction toward multiple offices or destinations. In contrast, kontorile is the singular allative form meaning "to the office." The plural form kontoritele thus denotes movement toward or contact with several offices or office locations.

Morphology and usage notes: Kontor is a loanword in Estonian, commonly used in business and administrative language. The allative plural suffix -itele attaches to the stem kontor to express destination for multiple offices. Typical contexts include phrases about going to several offices, sending documents to multiple locations, or directing someone to proceed to the offices.

Examples:

- Me suundume kontoritele, et alustada kohtumist. (We will head to the offices to begin the meeting.)

- Dokumendid saadeti kontoritele. (The documents were sent to the offices.)

Context and nuance: Kontoritele is primarily used when the reference is to more than one office or to office locations in general. When speaking about a single office, kontorile (to the office) or kontorisse (into the office, illative) may be used depending on the exact meaning. The term is common in formal or bureaucratic writing and in descriptive accounts of organizational movements or logistics.
