Lõigutele

Lõigutele is a word in Estonian grammar. It is the allative plural form of the noun lõik, which can mean a section, part, excerpt, or a segment of a text or object. In use, lõigutele functions to indicate direction toward or reference to multiple such parts.

In terms of morphology, lõik serves as the base noun, with lõigud as the nominative plural form. The allative plural form, lõigutele, marks movement toward or reference to several sections or parts. This form is common in more formal or technical language when distinguishing between different parts of a larger whole.

Etymologically, lõik derives from the same root found in related Estonian words for cutting, separating, or dividing, and has extended meaning in texts and documentation to denote distinct parts or segments. The allative plural form lõigutele therefore ties the idea of multiple parts to a directional or referential function.

Usage and context: lõigutele appears primarily in written Estonian when discussing or directing attention to multiple sections, parts of a document, or segments of a larger whole. It is most likely encountered in formal writing, manuals, academic texts, or legal and administrative language, where precise reference to multiple parts is required.
