näidetele

Näidetele is an inflected form of the Estonian noun näide (meaning "example"). It is the allative plural, typically translated into English as "to the examples" or "for the examples." As an allative case form, näidetele indicates direction or recipient in the plural: movement toward, giving to, or orientation with respect to a set of examples.

Morphologically, näidetele is formed by attaching the allative suffix -le to the plural stem (compare nominative plural näited and genitive plural näidete). It belongs to regular declension patterns of Estonian nouns related to the root näide, which is cognate with other Finnic words connected to showing or demonstrating and is related to the verb näidata ("to show").

In usage, näidetele commonly appears after verbs and constructions that imply direction, reference, or assignment (for instance, verbs meaning "refer," "add," "direct" or "assign"). It is not a lemma but an inflected case form that occurs in ordinary speech, instructional texts, and technical writing when multiple examples are the target or recipient of an action.

Related forms include näide (nominative singular), näited (nominative plural), näidete (genitive plural) and näidetes (inessive plural). Understanding näidetele requires recognizing its syntactic role rather than treating it as a separate lexical entry.
