kursidele

Kursidele is an Estonian grammatical form that marks direction toward multiple courses or classes. It is the allative plural form of the noun kursus (course) and is used to express movement toward or enrollment in several courses, such as training programs or classes. In sentences, kursidele typically follows verbs of motion or verbs indicating participation and is commonly used in educational or scheduling contexts.

Usage examples illustrate its function. Ma lähen kursidele homme. (I am going to the courses tomorrow.) Õpilased suunati kursidele. (The students were directed to the courses.) The form emphasizes plural course references and can appear when discussing a set of courses rather than a single course.

Relation to other forms is part of a broader Estonian case system. Kursidele contrasts with kursusele, the singular allative form used for one course. The choice between the two depends on number agreement and the intended reference. In standard written and spoken Estonian, kursidele is the typical choice when the speaker has multiple courses in view.

Etymology and morphology are typical of Estonian: kursidele is derived from the noun kursus with the allative plural suffix attached to indicate direction toward more than one course. This form is most commonly encountered in educational contexts, event schedules, and discussions of training programs, helping to specify destinations or targets of movement and participation.
