Kursusele

Kursusele is an Estonian grammatical form of the noun kursus, meaning a course, class, or training. It is the allative singular form, used to indicate movement toward a course or the destination of an action related to attending or enrolling in a course.

In Estonian grammar, nouns change form to signal case and meaning. The allative form kursusele expresses direction toward the course, as in sentences describing going to a course or heading to participate in one. The corresponding plural form kursustele is used when the reference is to multiple courses. By contrast, other forms of kursus (such as kursuse in the genitive or dative) serve different syntactic roles within a sentence.

Usage and examples, in a general sense, include phrases where a subject moves toward a course or engages with a course as a destination. For instance, a typical construction is "ta läheb kursusele" (he/she goes to a course). The form is also seen in contexts involving enrollment or attendance, though more specific verbs may govern alternative constructions such as "registreeruda kursusele" or "osalen kursusel," depending on the exact meaning and syntactic requirements.

Etymology: kursus is a loanword representing a sequence of instruction, training, or curriculum, with kursusele derived through standard Estonian noun declension to mark direction toward a course.
