Paketidele

Paketidele is an Estonian term that functions as the allative plural form of the noun paket, meaning “the packages.” In Estonian, the allative case marks direction toward a destination or recipient, so paketidele translates roughly as “to the packages” or “for the packages” when used with plural nouns. The form is formed by taking the noun stem and adding the allative plural ending -idele.

Paket is a loanword meaning “package” or “parcel” and is widely used in logistics, shipping, and everyday commerce. Paketidele commonly appears in contexts where actions are directed toward multiple packages, such as descriptions of deliveries, destinations in procedural texts, inventory instructions, or shipping labels.

In grammar, paketidele illustrates how Estonian marks plurality and direction simultaneously: the base is paket, the plural nominal ending becomes -id, and the allative plural ending -idele is appended to indicate destination. The form thus reflects both number and case in a single word.
