Ostmisele

Ostmisele is a grammatical form in Estonian derived from the noun ostmine, meaning the act of purchasing. It is the allative case form, used to indicate direction toward purchasing or a purpose related to procurement. Unlike a standalone verb or noun, ostmisele functions as a case-marked element within noun phrases.

Etymology and grammar: ostmine → ostmisele; the suffix -le marks the allative. It appears in contexts where the action of buying is the target or aim of an action, such as plans, budgets, or resources that are designated for purchase.

Usage examples: ostmisele suunatud plaanid (procurement-oriented plans); ostmisele mõeldud ressursid (resources intended for purchasing); eelarve ostmisele (budget allocated for purchasing). In practice, ostmisele is common in formal procurement language, policy texts, and corporate documents to express focus or purpose related to buying activities. It is not a separate lexical item but a grammatical form used within phrases describing procurement tasks or objectives.
