Taotlusest

Taotlusest is the elative singular form of the Estonian noun taotlus, which means an application, petition, request, or form submitted to an authority. The noun taotlus can refer to a concrete document filed with an institution or to the act of requesting something from a authority.

The elative form taotlusest is used in formal and bureaucratic language to indicate origin, source, or basis of something related to the application. For example, taotlusest tulenev teave refers to information derived from the application, and taotlusest tulenevad asjaolud means facts that arise from the application. This construction is common in legal texts, administrative correspondence, and official records when authors want to show that a statement or document is based on or drawn from the application.

In practice, taotlusest is a grammatical tool to link content to its source. The exact interpretation depends on the verb or noun it accompanies and on the surrounding context. It is part of standard Estonian grammar and is used across formal registers.

Notes for usage: taotlusest is a case form that must be harmonized with the surrounding sentence structure. In everyday speech, speakers often prefer expressions such as taotluse alusel (on the basis of the application) or taotluse põhjal (based on the application) to convey a similar meaning in a more common style.
