osallistumisestanne

Osallistumisestanne is an Estonian noun phrase used primarily in formal written language. It denotes the participation of the addressee and can be translated as “your participation” or, in some contexts, “from your participation.” The base noun is osallistumine, meaning participation. The form combines the elative case ending (-st) with a second-person possessive marker to indicate “your.” Because of its formal register, osallistumisestanne appears mainly in official correspondence, invites, acknowledgments, or institutional texts.

In ordinary speech, this construction is rarely used. More common equivalents in everyday Estonian are teie osalemine (your participation) or teie osaluse eest (for your participation). The word illustrates how Estonian often builds phrases for official tone by attaching case endings and possessive markers to a root noun, producing compact, formal expressions.

Related concepts include osallistumine (participation) and osalemine (participation/participating) as common, everyday terms. Osallistumisestanne stands as a specialized, highly formal variant typically encountered in administrative or ceremonial contexts.
