Vestluslikule

Vestluslikule is an Estonian linguistic form describing a specific inflection of the adjective vestluslik, which means “conversational” or “dialogical.” The form vestluslikule represents the allative singular, a case used to indicate direction toward something or a recipient of action in Estonian grammar. It is produced by attaching the allative suffix -le to the adjective stem vestluslik.

In practice, vestluslikule appears when the adjective modifies a noun that is in the allative case. Estonian adjectives normally agree with the nouns they modify in case and number, so vestluslikule is used in contexts where the overall phrase is positioned toward or directed at a discourse-related target, such as a style, setting, or approach described with an allative sense. The allative with adjectives is relatively uncommon in everyday speech and writing; it tends to be encountered primarily in linguistic descriptions, grammar explanations, or specialized stylistic analyses that emphasize case-marking functions.

For reference, vestluslikule is typically noted in grammars and dictionaries as the allative singular form of vestluslik. The base meaning of the adjective remains “conversational,” but vestluslikule’s usage highlights a directional or target-oriented nuance within Estonian syntax.
