These variations are used to express different spatial or temporal relations in Estonian grammar.

In context, koosolekus typically appears in administrative, corporate, governmental, or organizational text to denote actions or discussions that occur within a specific meeting. It is one of several common Estonian noun forms used to describe events tied to groups gathered for talk, decision-making, or planning.
