Poliitilistele

Poliitilistele is an Estonian grammatical form, specifically the allative plural form of the adjective poliitiline (political). In Estonian, adjectives decline for case and number, and the allative case marks direction toward or targeting something. When an adjective appears with a plural noun in the allative case, the form poliitilistele is used.

Function and usage

Poliitilistele is used to indicate that something is directed at or intended for political subjects, such as political parties, groups, or bodies. It often appears in formal, governmental, or institutional text to specify recipients or beneficiaries of actions, statements, or measures.

Morphological note

Poliitiline serves as the base adjective meaning political. Its plural allative form poliitilistele combines the plural adjective ending with the allative suffix -le. This form is typically followed by a plural noun in the corresponding case (for example, poliitilistele osapooltele = to the political parties/actors).

Examples

- Valitsus pöördus poliitilistele osapooltele. (The government addressed the political parties.)

- Põhjendused esitati poliitilistele otsustele alluvatele komisjonidele. (The justifications were presented to the commissions responsible for political decisions.)

Context and notes

Poliitilistele is most common in official, legal, or policy-related writing. In everyday Estonian, citizens are more likely to encounter the base form poliitiline and its other case forms in more routine language. As with other allative adjective forms, poliitilistele requires a following noun in the appropriate case and number to form a complete noun phrase.
