kasutajale

Kasutajale is an Estonian grammatical form that translates to “to the user” or “for the user.” It is the allative case form of the noun kasutaja (user). In Estonian, the allative marks direction toward a recipient or target of an action and is commonly used in instruction, documentation, and user interfaces to address the user explicitly.

Etymology and morphology: The base word kasutaja means a person who uses something. It is formed from kasut- “to use” with the agent noun suffix -ja. Adding the allative suffix -le yields kasutajale, meaning “to the user.” It is not a standalone noun; rather, it is a case form used within phrases.

Usage: Kasutajale appears in technical writing, manuals, UI strings, and translations to indicate content directed at the user. It can precede adjectives or nouns to form phrases such as “Kasutajale mõeldud juhendid” or function as a label or heading itself, for example in a section titled “Kasutajale” (To the user) or “Kasutajale teade” (Message to the user).

Examples: “Kasutajale mõeldud juhend” (guide intended for the user). “Kasutajale suunatud teade” (notification directed to the user). In software localization, “Kasutajale” may appear as a heading or a label indicating content addressed to the user.
