meeskonnale

Meeskonnale is the Estonian allative form of the noun meeskond (team), meaning “to the team” or “for the team.” It is used to express direction toward or benefit to the team, functioning as a recipient or beneficiary in a sentence. The form answers questions such as “to whom?” or “for whom?” in contexts describing recipients or purposes.

In everyday usage, meeskonnale appears after verbs of giving, sending, or assigning, and with phrases that describe something as useful or intended for the team. It is common in formal and written Estonian as well as in spoken language when specifying who is affected by an action.

Examples:

- Meeskonnale anti uus tööjuhend. (A new work instruction was given to the team.)

- Projekt on mõeldud meeskonnale. (The project is intended for the team.)

- See koolitus on meeskonnale kasulik. (This training is useful for the team.)

- Meeskonnale saadeti teade. (A notice was sent to the team.)

Notes:

- Meeskonnale refers specifically to a singular team; for several teams the form would be meeskondadele.

- It contrasts with illative form meeskonda (“into the team”) and other case forms of meeskond used for different syntactic roles.
