Päästmisele

Päästmisele is an Estonian word that translates to "to rescue" or "for rescue" in English. It is a dative form of the noun päästmine, which means rescue. The word can be used in various contexts to indicate the act or purpose of saving someone or something from danger, distress, or a difficult situation.

For example, one might speak of "abinõud päästmisele" which translates to "measures for rescue." This could refer to emergency services, safety protocols, or any actions taken to prevent harm or recover from a crisis. The term can apply to a wide range of scenarios, from rescuing a person from a burning building to saving a business from bankruptcy.

In a more abstract sense, "päästmisele" can also refer to salvation, particularly in a spiritual or religious context. It implies being delivered from sin, suffering, or eternal damnation. This usage often appears in theological discussions or prayers.

The grammatical form "päästmisele" specifically denotes the recipient or beneficiary of the rescue action, or the purpose towards which the rescue efforts are directed. Understanding this nuance is key to correctly interpreting its meaning within an Estonian sentence.
