odavamatele

Odavamatele is an Estonian inflected form of the adjective odav (cheap). It is the comparative stem odavam combined with the allative plural suffix -atele, used when the adjective modifies a plural noun in the allative case. In practical terms, odavamatele translates roughly as “to the cheaper ones” or “for the cheaper options.”

Usage and meaning: Odavamatele is used to refer to groups or options considered cheaper and to indicate direction or targeting toward them. It commonly appears in marketing, procurement, and consumer-discussion language. For example, odavamatele klientidele means “to cheaper clients” or more naturally “to cheaper customers,” and odavamatele toodetele means “to cheaper products” or “for cheaper products.”

Examples:

- Kampaania on suunatud odavamatele klientidele. (The campaign is aimed at cheaper customers.)

- Keskendume odavamatele toodetele. (We will focus on cheaper products.)

Morphology and grammar: Estonian adjectives decline to agree with the nouns they modify. When the noun is plural and in the allative case, the corresponding adjective form is odavamatele. The base stem is odam- from odav for the comparative odavam, and the allative plural suffix -atele is added to produce odavamatele.
