Tööriistadel

Tööriistadel refers to the plural form of the Estonian word "tööriist," which translates to "tool" in English. Therefore, "tööriistadel" signifies "on tools" or "with tools." This grammatical form is used in sentences to indicate that an action is being performed using tools, or that something is located on or related to tools.

The concept of tools is fundamental to human civilization, enabling individuals to manipulate their environment and accomplish tasks that would otherwise be impossible. Tools range from simple handheld implements like hammers and screwdrivers to complex machinery such as lathes and 3D printers. Their primary purpose is to extend the capabilities of the human body, providing leverage, precision, or power.

In Estonian, when referring to the use of tools, the adessive case (which "tööriistadel" represents) is commonly employed. For instance, a sentence might read "Ta parandas autot tööriistadel," meaning "He repaired the car with tools." This grammatical construction highlights the instrumental role of tools in the described action. The specific type of tool used can greatly influence the outcome of a task, and understanding the appropriate tool for a given job is a crucial aspect of many trades and hobbies.
