ingliskeelsetele

Ingliskeelsetele is a grammatical form in Estonian. It represents the allative plural inflection of the adjective ingliskeelne, which means English-language. The form is used when describing or referring to multiple English-language nouns in a direction- or recipient-oriented sense, typically within phrases that indicate “to” or “toward” those English-language items.

Usage of ingliskeelsetele occurs mainly in linguistic descriptions, grammar resources, and stylized or instructional contexts. It is not a common standalone word in everyday speech; rather, it functions as a descriptive marker that accompanies a following plural noun in the allative case. The broad idea is to label a group of items that are English-language in nature and to indicate a relation toward that group.

Common types of phrases include combinations with plural nouns in the allative, such as ingliskeelsetele õpikutele (to English-language textbooks) or ingliskeelsetele koolidele (to English-language schools). In these constructions, the adjective agrees with the noun in number and case, while the allative suffix conveys the directional or recipient sense.

Overall, ingliskeelsetele is a specialised inflected form rather than a separate lexical item. It illustrates how Estonian adjectives flex for case and number to modify plural nouns in the allative, especially in contexts describing categories of English-language items.
