Olemasolevale

Olemasolevale is an Estonian inflected form of the adjective olemasolev, meaning existing or present. It represents the dative singular form used before a noun when the noun is in the dative case. In Estonian, adjectives typically agree with the noun in case; thus olemasolevale accompanies a dative-noun phrase such as olemasolevale teabele (to the existing information), olemasolevale isikule (to the existing person), or olemasolevale plaanile (to the existing plan). The base form olemasolev derives from the verb olla (to exist) with the participial suffix -olev, indicating a state of being.

The word is most commonly seen in formal, administrative, or legal language, where precise case marking is important. It is not generally used as a standalone noun but as a descriptive modifier that specifies that the noun is already present or in existence before some act or consideration.

As part of the same paradigm, olemasolevale has related forms such as nominative olemasolev, genitive olemasoleva, and partitive olemasolevat. These forms share the same core meaning of existing or present but are used with nouns in different cases. Olemasolevale thus functions primarily as a case-marked modifier within Estonian grammar, rather than a separate lexical item. See also olemasolev; Estonian grammar; Estonian adjectives.
