Kosmeetilistele

Kosmeetilistele is a grammatical form in Estonian, derived from the adjective kosmeetiline meaning cosmetic. It is not a separate lexical item but a case-inflected form used before a noun in the allative plural. In practice, kosmeetilistele appears in phrases that convey “for cosmetic …” or “to cosmetic purposes,” and it typically accompanies plural nouns in the allative case, such as eesmärkidele (purposes) or vajadustele (needs).

Usage and meaning

Kosmeetilistele describes things related to cosmetics or beauty in a context that indicates purpose, direction, or suitability toward cosmetics. It is commonly used in discussions about cosmetic products, research, regulations, or services. Since Estonian adjectives decline to agree with their nouns, kosmeetilistele appears with the noun in the allative plural to form phrases like kosmeetilistele eesmärkidele (for cosmetic purposes) or kosmeetilistele vajadustele (for cosmetic needs).
