kõikideks

Kõikideks is an Estonian word that translates to "for all" or "to everyone" in English. It is the allative plural form of the word "kõik," which means "all" or "every." The allative case in Estonian, indicated by the suffix "-ks," expresses a destination or purpose. Therefore, "kõikideks" signifies an action, statement, or offering that is intended for the entirety of a group or for every single entity within a context.

This word is commonly used in various contexts, from everyday conversation to more formal declarations. For instance, it might appear in phrases like "kingitus kõigideks" (a gift for everyone) or "tervitus kõigideks" (greetings to everyone). It emphasizes inclusivity and the broad scope of something being distributed or directed. The grammatical structure highlights the collective nature of the recipient. Understanding the allative case in Estonian is key to grasping the nuance of "kõikideks," as it moves beyond a simple plural to convey a sense of purpose or destination for the entire group.
