asjadele

Asjadele is the allative plural form of the Estonian noun asi, meaning "thing" or "matter." It is formed by attaching the allative ending -le to the genitive plural stem asjade-, yielding asjadele, which can be glossed as "to the things" or "to matters." Asjadele is not a standalone lexical item; it is a grammatical form used to convey direction or target toward multiple things within a sentence.

In usage, the allative case marks a recipient or destination of an action, or a focus toward the referents indicated by the noun. The allative plural is comparatively less common in everyday speech and is primarily discussed in linguistic descriptions of Estonian grammar, where it appears in analyses of noun inflection and case marking. The form helps distinguish whom or what an action is oriented toward when the reference is plural.

Because Estonian relies heavily on case endings to encode grammatical relations, asjadele often appears with verbs or constructions that imply movement toward or targeting of the indicated referents. The term serves as a point of reference for learners studying the system of noun cases rather than as a fundamental vocabulary item.
