Niiskusele

Niiskusele is an Estonian grammatical form derived from the noun niiskus, meaning moisture or humidity. In Estonian grammar, niiskusele represents the allative (often described as a dative-like) case indicating direction toward moisture or a target related to moisture. It is used when describing the relationship of an object to moisture, such as in expressions of impact or focus on moisture.

The form is created by adding the allative suffix -le to the stem of niiskus, yielding niiskusele. This construction appears in formal and scientific language, where researchers discuss humidity levels, moisture effects, or moisture-related topics. It commonly occurs with verbs and nouns that govern a relation to moisture, such as mõju (influence) and keskendunud (focused on).

Examples of usage include:

- mõju niiskusele, meaning "the effect on moisture."

- niiskusele keskendunud uuring, meaning "a study focused on moisture."

- niiskuse ja niiskusele mõju vahelises seoses, illustrating relations involving humidity and its impact.
