publikatsioonidele

Publikatsioonidele is an Estonian grammatical form functioning as the plural allative of the noun publikatsioon (publication). In English, it is commonly translated as “to publications” or “for publications,” depending on the context. The allative case marks direction toward or the recipient of an action, and publikatsioonidele is typically used when publications are the outlets, recipients, or targets of a verb’s action.

Morphology and formation: The form publishes as publikatsioonidele, created by applying the allative plural suffix to the plural stem of publikatsioon. It is used when the action is directed toward multiple publications or publication outlets, such as journals, magazines, or publishing houses. This contrasts with the genitive plural publikatsioonide, which denotes “of publications.”

Usage and examples: Publikatsioonidele appears in sentences where the verb’s action is aimed at or delivered to publications. For example: Ma esitasin käsikirja publikatsioonidele. (I submitted the manuscript to the publications.) Teosed mind viidi publikatsioonidele edasiseks läbivaatamiseks. (The works were sent to the publications for further review.) The form is common in academic and publishing contexts, including manuscript submissions, grant or project communications, and distribution to outlets.

Relation to other forms: Publikatsioonidele is paired with other Estonian noun forms to express different relations. Publikatsioonide (genitive plural) expresses “of publications,” while other cases like elative or allative singular would use forms such as publikatsioonile. Together these forms help specify the role of publications within actions, recipients, or targets in a sentence.
