Pereliikmetele

Pereliikmetele is an Estonian grammatical form used to indicate direction toward or benefit for family members. It is the allative plural form of the noun phrase referring to family members (pereliikmed), and translates roughly as “to family members” or “for family members.” The base word is pereliige (family member), with pereliikmed as the plural nominative and pereliikmetele as the corresponding allative form.

Usage and function

Pereliikmetele appears in contexts where actions, rights, payments, notices, or information are directed at or intended for family members. In official or policy language it is common to specify beneficiaries or recipients with this form. It helps clarify who should receive a benefit, service, or communication. It is distinct from pereliikmetega, which uses the comitative meaning “with family members.”

Grammar notes

Pereliikmetele is an inflected form appropriate for sentences requiring a recipient or beneficiary expressed in the allative case. The suffix -tele marks the plural allative, while the singular allative would be pereliikmele (to the family member). In practical use, pereliikmetele often appears in government notices, social benefits texts, insurance communications, and other formal documents that refer to multiple family members as recipients.

Examples

- Toetust makstakse pereliikmetele. (The benefit is paid to family members.)

- Teavitused jõuavad pereliikmetele. (Notifications reach the family members.)

- Pereliikmetele mõeldud tooted on erisoodustustega. (Products intended for family members come with special benefits.)
