Mehaanilisele

Mehaanilisele is the allative singular form of the Estonian adjective mehaaniline, meaning “mechanical.” In Estonian, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case, and when the noun is in the allative case (marked with the suffix -le), the adjective takes the corresponding allative form, typically ending in -lisele.

Usage and examples:

Mehaanilisele seadmele means “to the mechanical device.”

Mehaanilisele tööriistale means “to the mechanical tool.”

These forms appear in technical and descriptive writing when indicating movement toward or relation to a mechanical object.

Relation to other forms:

In the nominative case, the base form is mehaaniline (for example, mehaaniline seade = a mechanical device). In other cases, the adjective inflects similarly to agree with the noun, so mehaaniline can appear as mehaanilise, mehaanilisel, mehaanilise, etc., depending on case and number.

Notes:

Mehaanilisele is not a separate term with a specialized meaning beyond being an inflected form of mehaaniline. It is primarily encountered in contexts that require specifying direction or reference to a mechanical object within Estonian grammar and technical language. See also Estonian grammar and adjectives.
