ettevõtjates

ettevõtjates is the genitive plural form of the Estonian word ettevõtja, which translates to "entrepreneur" or "business person" in English. Therefore, "ettevõtjates" refers to "among entrepreneurs" or "of entrepreneurs" when used in a sentence. It is a grammatical case indicating possession or belonging to a group of entrepreneurs. For instance, a sentence like "Turuolukord ettevõtjates oli pingeline" would mean "The market situation among entrepreneurs was tense." This grammatical form is essential for correctly constructing sentences in Estonian that discuss or address a collective of individuals engaged in business or entrepreneurial activities. The context in which "ettevõtjates" appears will determine its precise meaning, but it always denotes a relationship with multiple entrepreneurs. It is a common and necessary grammatical construction in the Estonian language when referring to a plural group of business owners or innovators.
