Laiaulatuslikule

Laiaulatuslikule is the Estonian allative singular form of the adjective laiaulatuslik, which means extensive, broad in scope, or wide-ranging. It is used to modify a noun when describing a target or domain toward which an action or consideration is directed, with the allative case marker -le.

Etymology and form: The adjective laiaulatuslik comes from laiaulatus, meaning breadth or extent, plus the suffix -lik to form an adjective. The allative ending -le attaches to the stem, producing laiaulatuslikule for use with nouns in the allative case.

Usage: In neutral, descriptive prose, laiaulatuslikule appears in formal or technical contexts to indicate that something has broad scope or wide applicability. It typically accompanies nouns in the allative case, such as goals, plans, or projects, to emphasize the breadth of their scope or reach. It can be found in academic writing, policy documents, and analytical reports.

Examples: laiaulatuslikule ideele (to a broad idea); laiaulatuslikule kavatsusele (to a broad intention); laiaulatuslikule projektile (to a wide-ranging project). These phrases convey that the noun’s scope or impact is extensive rather than narrow.
