jutustustele

Jutustustele is an Estonian grammatical form, specifically the allative plural of the noun jutustus, which means a short story or tale. The allative case in Estonian indicates direction toward something, so jutustustele denotes “to the stories” or “toward the stories” when used with a plural subject.

In terms of morphology, jutustusele is the allative singular, while jutustustele is its allative plural form. The base noun is jutustus; other related forms include jutustused (nominative plural) and jutustuste (genitive plural). Jutustustele is primarily encountered in linguistic descriptions, grammars, dictionaries, or analyses of Estonian case systems, rather than in everyday narrative prose.

Usage notes: the allative plural is a specialized grammatical category and may appear in scholarly discussions about Estonian syntax and inflection. In ordinary Estonian writing, speakers more often rely on other cases or prepositional constructions to convey similar notions of direction or reference. Jutustustele thus functions mainly as an example within grammar of how Estonian marks toward-ness for plural nouns rather than as a common content word in standard texts.
