kohtumisel

Kohtumisel is an Estonian locative form derived from the noun kohtumine, which means meeting or encounter. In usage, kohtumisel conveys the idea of being at the meeting or occurring during the meeting. It functions similarly to phrases like “at the meeting” or “during the meeting” in English, providing a setting or time frame for actions described in a sentence.

In sentences, kohtumisel can be used to describe actions connected to a meeting, often within formal or written Estonian. It frequently appears in participial phrases or clauses that refer to participants, events, or decisions associated with a meeting. For example, a sentence such as “Kohtumisel osalenud juhid esitasid ettepaneku” translates roughly to “The leaders who attended the meeting presented a proposal.” Another common usage is to describe conditions or outcomes that were agreed upon or discussed during the gathering.

Grammatically, kohtumisel is not a standalone verb; it is an inflected noun form that marks location or time relative to a meeting. Its usage is typical in official reports, minutes, business correspondence, and news writing, where precise references to meetings help situate actions and statements.

Related terms include kohtumine (meeting) and other Estonian locative forms that express different relations to events or places. Understanding kohtumisel helps in interpreting sentences that reference activities linked to a specific meeting and in producing clear, formal Estonian prose.
