projekteerijale

Projekteerijale is the Estonian allative form of the noun projek­teerija, meaning the designer or engineer. It denotes the recipient or beneficiary of an action, equivalent to “to the designer” in English. This form is used for indirect objects and is part of the Estonian system of oblique cases, where the nominative singular is projek­teerija and the nominative plural is projek­teerijad. The allative singular, projekteerijale, specifies direction or targeting of communication, documents, or instructions toward the designer, while the allative plural would be projekteerijatele.

Usage of projekteerijale is common in technical, architectural, and procurement contexts. It marks that certain materials, questions, approvals, or payments are directed to the designer. In contractual and project-management language, it helps identify the party responsible for reviewing, approving, or receiving specified items.

Examples include sentences such as: Dokumendid tuleb esitada projekteerijale. (Documents must be submitted to the designer.) Kooskõlastused tuleb projekteerijale saata enne järgmist sammu. (Approvals must be sent to the designer before the next step.) Projekteerijale suunatud teave tähendab, et viited ja kommentaarid on mõeldud sellega seotud isikule.

Etymology and related forms: projekteerija is formed from the verb projekteerima (to design) with the agentive suffix -ja. The concept is closely connected to the linguistic system of Estonian case endings and to other case forms of professional titles, such as arhitekt ja insener, each with corresponding allative forms for directing communication.
