lahendusel

Lahendusel is the adessive singular form of the Estonian noun lahendus, which means "solution" or "the act of solving." In grammar, lahendusel is used to express location, context, or attribution related to a solution, for example “Lahendusel on kaks etappi” (The solution has two steps) or “Keskendume lahendusele” (We will focus on the solution).

The base word lahendus denotes a solution or an answer to a problem. It follows standard Estonian noun declension patterns: lahenduse (genitive), lahendust (partitive), lahendusel (adessive), lahendusele (allative), and others. The adessive form lahendusel is commonly used when speaking about characteristics, components, or aspects associated with a specific solution, or when indicating “on/at the solution” in a spatial or contextual sense.
