muulle

Muulle is a nonstandard spelling variant of the Estonian dative pronoun mulle, which means “to me.” It is not recognized as correct in standard Estonian and is mainly encountered in informal writing, online discussions, and casual messaging where typographical errors or keyboard slips occur.

The form muulle typically arises from mistakes such as hitting adjacent keys, confusion with words that have double letters, or assumptions about spelling patterns from other languages. Because Estonian spelling is closely tied to its phonology and case system, muulle does not reflect a legitimate standard form and is not used in formal texts.

In practice, muulle is generally considered a spelling error by editors, language resources, and educational materials. Correcting it to mulle helps ensure clarity and adherence to standard Estonian orthography. While occasional nonstandard spellings can appear in personal communication without causing major misunderstandings, they may reduce perceived precision in formal writing or published work.

Overall, muulle is best understood as a common misspelling rather than a distinct linguistic form. It highlights how small typographical variations can affect the readability and perceived quality of Estonian text.
