Parimale

Parimale is a form in the Estonian language. It is the allative singular form of the adjective parim, meaning "best." In Estonian, adjectives decline to agree with the noun in case and number, so parim has corresponding forms such as parimale for allative usage, used when the action is directed toward the best thing or person.

Common usage appears in phrases like parimale mängijale (to the best player) or parimale sõbrale (to the best friend). The stem parim also has other case forms (parima in genitive, parimat in partitive) that align with the noun; the allative form is parimale.

In linguistics, parimale is cited as an example of Estonian adjective inflection and the use of the allative case with modifiers. It is not a standalone lexical item in English; it is a grammatical inflection within Estonian.

Outside linguistic description, the string parimale can occasionally appear as a brand name, place name, or other proper-name usage, but such uses are unrelated to its function as a grammatical form in Estonian.
