Välismaalastele

välismaalastele is the allative plural form of välismaalane (foreigner) in Estonian. The allative case marks direction toward or recipient of an action, and välismaalastele literally means “to the foreigners” or, in some contexts, “for the foreigners.” The form is used when the action is directed at foreigners as a group.

Morphology and usage

The form is created from the noun välismaalane. The genitive plural of välismaalane is välismaalaste, and adding the allative suffix -le yields välismaalastele. This construction is common in contexts involving services, information, or actions aimed at foreigners, such as giving, offering, or targeting.

Notes

välismaalastele is plural and used with verbs and prepositions that govern the allative meaning of “to/for.” In translation, it is typically rendered as “to foreigners” or “for foreigners,” depending on the verb and context.
