Välisuksel

Välisuksel is the adessive singular form of the Estonian noun välisuks, which means the exterior or front door. In usage, välisuksel denotes location on or at the exterior door, as in sentences describing where something is or happens.

Etymology and form: välisuks is a compound formed from välis- (external, outer) and ukS (door). The word välisuksel is a case form that expresses “on the exterior door.” Estonian nouns decline through cases, and adessive -l is used to indicate location “on/at.” The base form välisuks has other inflected forms such as välisukse (genitive) and välisuksidele (allative/plural variants).

Usage notes: Välisuksel is commonly found in descriptive or architectural contexts, signage, and building management language when describing where objects or features are placed. It appears with verbs such as olema (to be) or asuma (to be located). For example: “Välisuksel on silt.” (“There is a sign on the exterior door.”) “Käepide on välisuksel.” (“The handle is on the exterior door.”) In referring to multiple doors, the plural adessive form välisuksedel would be used.

Related forms: The canonical lemma is välisuks; välisuksel is one of its case forms. Other related terms include various case forms of the same noun (e.g., välisukse in genitive, välisuksest in elative). Plural forms follow the standard plural patterns of Estonian nouns, such as välisuksed (doors) and välisuksedel (on the exterior doors).

In summary, välisuksel is a grammatical form rather than a distinct lexical item, used to describe something located on or at an exterior door in Estonian.
