Pidajale

Pidajale is a grammatical form in Estonian. It is the dative singular form of the noun pidaja, which means owner, holder, or possessor. The dative case marks the indirect object or the beneficiary of an action, and pidajale translates roughly as “to the holder” or “for the holder.” This form is used when something is directed toward the holder or when describing for whom something is intended.

In usage, pidajale appears in sentences where the holder is the recipient or beneficiary of an action. For example: “Dokumendid on mõeldud pidajale” (The documents are intended for the holder). “Palun esita arve pidajale” (Please present the invoice to the holder). A third example could be: “Seadme pidajale tuleb teade saata” (A notice must be sent to the owner of the device). These examples illustrate how pidajale functions within bureaucratic, administrative, or legal contexts where attention or responsibility is directed toward the holder of an asset or right.

Pidajale is not a separate concept or entity; it is simply a case form of pidaja. Understanding it requires basic familiarity with Estonian noun inflection and the use of the dative case to indicate recipient or beneficiary in a clause.
