Tagaküljele

Tagaküljele is an Estonian word that translates to "to the back" or "on the back" in English. It is a directional adverb used to indicate movement or position towards the rear of something or someone. The word is formed by combining the noun "tagus" (back) with the allative case ending "-le," which denotes movement towards a place.

For example, one might say "Pane see asi tagaküljele" which means "Put this thing to the back." This could refer to placing an object in the rear of a room, in the back of a vehicle, or behind another item. In a more abstract sense, "tagaküljele" can also imply moving something to a secondary or less important position, as in "panna probleem tagaküljele" (to put the problem to the back), meaning to postpone or ignore it temporarily.

The usage of "tagaküljele" is common in everyday Estonian conversation and writing. Its meaning is generally straightforward, relying on the context to determine the precise direction or implication. It's a fundamental part of expressing spatial relationships and priorities in the Estonian language.
