erakorralisele

Erakorralisele is the allative singular form of the Estonian adjective erakorraline, meaning “extraordinary,” “special,” or “ad hoc.” In Estonian, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in case and number, so erakorralisele appears when the noun is in the allative case, which is used to express direction toward something or purpose, as in “to the extraordinary event.”

It is commonly used in formal or administrative language to describe events, decisions, or arrangements that are outside the normal schedule. Example: “Kutsume teid erakorralisele koosolekule” means “We invite you to the extraordinary meeting.”

Other forms include erakorralise, the genitive singular, used with a noun in the genitive case (e.g., “erakorralise otsuse” – “of the extraordinary decision”). The base adjective is erakorraline; erakorralisele is one of its inflected forms.

Etymology: the form derives from erakorraline with the allative suffix -le, conveying the sense of “to the extraordinary/unscheduled [event].” This form is primarily encountered in written Estonian and in contexts describing purposeful or directed actions toward a non-regular occurrence.
