Osutamisele

Osutamisele is the Estonian allative form of the noun osutamine, which denotes the act of providing or rendering services. In official and everyday language, osutamine refers to the delivery of services by organizations such as government agencies, municipalities, healthcare providers, and private companies. Osutamisele is used to indicate direction toward the activity of provision, appearing in phrases like teenuste osutamisele keskendunud (focused on service provision) or osutamisele suunatud (directed at service provision).

Grammatical note: Osutamisele is formed by adding the allative suffix -le to the noun osutamine. The allative marks orientation toward the activity of providing services and is commonly found in policy and planning texts to specify objectives or areas of focus. It contrasts with other cases such as osutamine (the act of providing) in other syntactic roles.

Usage: The term is common in public administration, healthcare, and social protection contexts. It appears in legislative and planning documents to describe aims, funding, or measures related to delivering services. Phrases such as osutamisele suunatud meetmed (measures directed at service provision) and teenuste osutamisele keskendunud reform (a reform focused on service provision) illustrate its typical use.

Examples:

- Riigi osutamisele suunatud meetmed on mõeldud teenuste kättesaadavuse parandamiseks.

- Teenuste osutamisele keskendunud koolitusprogrammid aitavad parandada kvaliteeti ja kiirust.

See tähendab, et osutamisele iseloomustab valdkonnas keskendumise või suunatuse ideed, mis on seotud teenuste pakkumise või osutamise korraldamisega.
