Omistusele

Omistusele is the allative form of the Estonian noun omistus, meaning ownership or possession. It is used mainly in formal or legal language to indicate direction toward ownership or to specify the object of ownership. The form is created from omistus plus the allative suffix -le; the singular allative is omistusele, and the plural is omistustele.

In grammatical terms, omistus is the base noun for ownership/possession. Its inflected forms include omistus (nominative), omistuse (genitive), omistust (partitive), and omistusele (allative). The allative plural form omistustele is used when referring to multiple instances or entities directed toward ownership.

Usage tends toward legal, administrative, or linguistic contexts. For example, phrases such as omistusele antud vara can indicate property handed over into ownership, while omistusele kuuluv vara describes property that is under ownership. In everyday Estonian, this form is less common and is typically found in contracts, regulatory texts, or scholarly writing.

Related terms include omistus (ownership/possession) and its other case forms (omistuse, omistust). Omistusele thus functions as a specialized grammatical tool for expressing ownership-related direction or assignment within Estonian syntax.
