Mõjusamatele

Mõjusamatele is Estonian and serves as the plural form of the adjective mõjusam, meaning more influential or more effective. It is used with a plural noun in a case that marks the recipient or target of an action, typically translated into English as “to the more influential [ones]” or “for the more influential [ones].”

Morphology and usage

The form mõjusamatele is created from the comparative adjective mõjusam and adds a plural, recipient-marking ending. It accompanies a following plural noun in phrases where the action is directed toward that group. For example, mõjusamatele inimestele means “to the more influential people,” and mõjusamatele ettevõtetele means “to the more influential companies.” The adjective therefore agrees with the noun in number and case, and commonly appears before the noun it modifies in Estonian syntax.

Typical contexts

Mõjusamatele is common in formal or analytical writing, policy discussions, and discourse about targeting, influence, or priority groups. It helps distinguish a subset of a group (the more influential ones) as the focus of attention, resources, or action. Example constructions include campaigns directed at mõjusamatele inimestele or collaboration efforts aimed at mõjusamatele ettevõtetele.
