saamisele

Saamisele is an Estonian noun form, the allative case of saamine (the act of obtaining). It marks direction toward the act of obtaining or toward the goal of obtaining, and is typically used in formal or analytical language to describe processes, aims, or resources connected with acquisition. In everyday speech other constructions may be preferred, but saamisele appears in official documents, policy papers, and academic writing.

Morphology: the base is saamine (the act of obtaining). The allative suffix -le yields saamisele, meaning “to obtaining” or “toward obtaining.” Related forms include saamine (the process of obtaining), saamise (genitive “of obtaining”), and saamiseks (a noun meaning “for obtaining” or “for the purpose of obtaining”).

Usage examples:

- saamisele suunatud meetmed — measures aimed at obtaining

- saamisele pühendatud ressursid — resources dedicated to obtaining

In terms of translation, saamisele expresses direction or purpose rather than the action itself, aligning with English “toward obtaining” or “for obtaining.”

Notes:

- The form is most common in written Estonian, particularly in policy, legal, and research contexts.

- It functions as a noun phrase element that can be combined with adjectives and other nouns to specify aims, strategies, and resources related to obtaining something.
