profiilil

Profiilil is the inessive singular form of the Estonian noun profiil, meaning “on the profile” or “in the profile.” In Estonian grammar, the form profiilil is used to indicate location or presence inside or on something referred to as a profile, such as a social media profile or a user profile on a service or website. The base word profiil refers to a profile or outline and is a loanword used in many contexts to describe a summarized or public representation of a person, account, or entity.

Usage notes:

- Profiilil typically answers the question where? and is used with verbs that denote placement, display, or existence on a profile.

- It is commonly found in digital and social contexts, but can also appear in more traditional settings when discussing profiles in documents, records, or descriptions.

Morphology context:

- Nominative: profiil (the profile)

- Genitive: profiili (of the profile)

- Inessive: profiilil (on/in the profile)

Other cases follow standard Estonian noun inflection patterns.

Examples:

- Fotod on profiilil. (The photos are on the profile.)

- Profiilil on kirjeldus kasutaja kohta. (The profile contains a description about the user.)

- Kui soovid lisada teavet, tee seda profiilil. (If you want to add information, do it on the profile.)

Profiilil thus functions primarily as a grammatical form indicating location, rather than as a separate conceptual term, and it appears across contexts wherever the concept of a profile is referenced in Estonian.
