Testijale

Testijale is an Estonian word form meaning “to the tester” and serves as the allative case form of the noun testija (tester). It marks the recipient of an action, such as giving or sending, rather than the subject of the sentence.

Formation and usage: The form testijale is created by adding the allative suffix -le to the base testija. Estonian uses cases like the allative to indicate direction or recipient, often without prepositions. For example: Ma annan selle testijale. Palun esitage need aruanded testijale.

Contexts and semantics: The term appears in contexts related to testing, quality assurance, and research, where materials, results, or instructions are directed to a tester or testing role. It typically refers to a specific person or to a designated testing authority in a document.

Notes: Testijale is not a separate lexical item; it is the inflected form of testija. In plural contexts, the corresponding form testijatele is used to mean “to the testers.” The allative form is a standard feature of Estonian grammar and is used to express recipient-focused actions without prepositions.
