esinemisele

Esinemisele is an Estonian grammatical form: it is the allative case of the noun esinemine, which means a performance, appearance, or act of performing. The form signals direction toward a performance or a purpose related to a performance, such as going to a show or attending an event. It is built from the noun esinemine, derived from the verb esinema “to perform,” with the allative suffix -le.

In usage, esinemisele is employed with verbs of motion and with expressions referring to attendance or participation in a performance. Examples include: “Me läheme esinemisele” (We are going to the performance); “Olen kutsunud sõpru esinemisele” (I have invited friends to the performance); and “Ta pidi esinemisele minema” (He had to go to the performance). The form can also appear in phrases where esinemisele denotes the target of attendance or action, such as “esinemisele mõeldud plaanid” (plans intended for a performance), though in many contexts other constructions may be preferred.

Grammatical notes: Esinemisele is not a standalone lexical item with a fixed meaning; it is the allative case form of esinemine used to express destination or purpose. It represents one of several directional cases in Estonian grammar and affects sentence structure by indicating where someone is going or to what event an action is directed.
