ruumile

Ruumile is an Estonian word described in linguistic contexts as the allative form of ruum, meaning space or room. It expresses movement toward a location and can be rendered roughly as "to the room" or "toward the space." The construction illustrates how Estonian marks spatial relations with suffixes, combining a base noun with -ile to signal a destination.

In actual language use, ruumile tends to appear mainly in grammars, linguistic descriptions, or instructional materials rather than in everyday speech. It may appear in descriptive or literary contexts to convey a sense of motion toward a place or toward a particular space within a narrative.

Etymology: ruum comes from space or room; -ile is a directional suffix indicating toward or to a location.
