Viimasele

Viimasele is an Estonian grammatical form that functions as the allative singular form of the adjective viimase, meaning “the last.” It is used to indicate direction or destination toward the last item in a sequence, the final stage of a process, or the final recipient of an action. In typical Estonian usage, adjectives precede the noun they modify, and viimasele appears before a noun in the allative case, forming phrases such as viimasele lehele or viimasele inimesele.

Morphology and usage

Viimasele is limited to the singular allative form and is employed when the destination expressed by the noun is the last in a series or the final target of an action. The noun that follows is in the allative form as well, creating a locative-destination phrase. This construction is common in written Estonian, especially in instructions, directions, or formal requests where a precise destination is stated.

Typical examples

- viimasele lehele = to the last page

- viimasele inimesele = to the last person

Notes

Viimasele is a straightforward inflected form of a common adjective and does not indicate plurality or gender. It is primarily found in contexts where a sequence or final target is specifically referenced. As with other Estonian allative phrases, it is most natural in writing and formal speech.
