Süsteemsele

Süsteemsele is an Estonian inflected form of the adjective süsteemne, meaning systemic or system-related. It is used when the adjective modifies a noun that is in a case form that requires the -sele ending, typically in allative or dative contexts. In practice it appears in phrases that denote direction toward or relevance to the system, such as to a system-level object or concept.

The form is common in technical, organizational, and policy language, where discussions focus on properties or interventions at the level of the whole system rather than at the level of a single component. It is one of several inflected forms of the adjective, and it contrasts with the nominative mingi form süsteemne and other case forms like süsteemse or süsteemset that serve different grammatical roles.

Examples of usage include phrases like süsteemsele lahendusele (to the systemic solution) and süsteemsele tasandile (to the systemic level). Such usage conveys that the reference is directed at, or operates within, the broader, system-wide context rather than at an individual part.

Etymology and grammar notes: süsteemsele is formed from the stem süsteemne with an inflectional ending appropriate for the required case, following Estonian adjective declension patterns. This form illustrates how Estonian adjectives agree with the case and number of the nouns they modify.
