Tööstusele

Tööstusele is the Estonian allative case form of the noun tööstus (industry). It denotes direction toward the industry or the industry as the recipient or target of an action. In Estonian grammar, the allative marks movement toward something, or indicates the object of a policy, measure, or support that is aimed at the industry.

Formation and use. The allative form tööstusele is created from the noun tööstus to express “to the industry.” It is commonly found in economic, political, and planning contexts where the industry is the focus, beneficiary, or objective of a action or program. For example, phrases like “invested tööstusele” or “tööstusele suunatud meetmed” indicate investments or measures directed at the industry.

Common contexts. In written and formal Estonian, tööstusele appears in sentences describing government or industry programs, subsidies, or regulatory actions aimed at improving industrial capacity, competitiveness, or innovation. It contrasts with forms such as tööstuse (genitive: of the industry) and tööstus (nominative: the industry) by specifying direction or target toward the industry.

Related terms. Related concepts include tööstus (industry), tööstuslik (industrial), and tööstusettevõte (industrial company). The allative case is a broader feature of Estonian grammar used to indicate direction, recipients, or beneficiaries across various nouns.
