saajatele

Saajatele is the Estonian allative plural form of the noun saaja, meaning recipient or addressee. In Estonian grammar, saaja refers to a person or entity that receives something, such as a letter, document, or notification. The form saajatele is used when the action or event is directed toward multiple recipients, for example as the target of a verb or as the indirect object.

In practice, saajatele appears in sentences where the action is performed for or toward several recipients. For example, Kiri saadeti saajatele, meaning “The letter was sent to the recipients.” It is common in official or formal text, such as notices, emails, or administrative statements, to indicate whom the message or item is intended for.

Related forms include singular equivalents like saajale (to the recipient) and other case forms of saaja for different grammatical roles. Saajatele itself is a grammatical form rather than a separate lexical entry, representing plural recipients in the allative case. The term is primarily encountered in written Estonian, especially in contexts involving correspondence, distribution, or communication directed at multiple recipients.
