Päringutele

Päringutele is the allative plural form of päring, a Estonian noun meaning inquiry, request or query. The term denotes multiple inquiries or requests to which something is directed, and it is used in both everyday language and formal registers, including customer service, administration and information technology.

Grammatical note: Päringutele is formed by adding the allative plural ending -utele to the stem päring-. This form marks the recipient or target of an action directed toward those inquiries. It contrasts with other forms such as päringute (genitive plural) and päringuid (partitive plural).

Usage and examples: In customer service and formal communication, päringutele appears in phrases such as vastama päringutele (to respond to inquiries) or esitada svarud päringutele (to provide information for inquiries). An example sentence is: Vastused päringutele tuleb esitada kolme tööpäeva jooksul. In information technology, päringud can also mean database queries, and päringutele may refer to multiple such queries directed at a system. The term is therefore encountered in both administrative documents and IT contexts.

See also: päring, päringud, päringute, päringuid. The word is related to other Estonian terms for inquiries and queries, and its allative plural form is one of several case forms used to indicate direction toward multiple targets.
