Korraldage

Korraldage is the Estonian second-person plural imperative form of the verb korraldama, meaning to organize or to arrange. It is used when giving direct instruction or a formal request to a group of people to perform the action of organizing. In practice, it appears in official, administrative, and event-planning language, where a collective is expected to carry out organizational tasks.

Grammatically, korraldage is formed from the verb stem korralda- with the imperative ending -ge, marking the second person plural. The corresponding singular imperative is korralda. Related noun forms include korraldus (an order, arrangement) and korraldamine (the act of organizing).

Usage and nuance: In everyday formal writing and instructions, phrases such as "Palun korraldage üritus" (Please organize the event) or "Korraldage koosolek järgmisel nädalal" (Arrange the meeting next week) are common. The mood can convey politeness or urgency depending on context and accompanying words, such as palun or kiireloomulised deadlines. While widely understood among Estonian speakers, korraldage is specific to Estonian grammar and is not a general-purpose English substitute; in translations, it is typically rendered as "organize" or "arrange" with appropriate politeness and number.
