sihtidele

Sihtidele is an Estonian noun form built from the word siht, meaning goal, aim, or target. In standard usage, sihtidele represents the plural dative or allative form of siht and is used to indicate the indirect object or the direction toward multiple aims. The term appears most often in formal or administrative contexts, such as planning, budgeting, policy documents, and project management, where actions and resources are described as directed at specific targets.

In practice, sihtidele commonly translates to “to the goals” or “for the aims” in English. It is frequently paired with phrases describing alignment of activities, resources, or measures with predefined aims. For example, a document might refer to resources allocated sihtidele vastavalt or to measures sihtidele suunatud, meaning resources or measures directed toward the stated goals.

Usage notes and related terms: sihtide is the genitive plural of siht, while sihtidele is the plural dative/allative form used when indicating direction toward the goals. The term is closely related to sihtgrupp (target audience) and to phrases that discuss how programs, budgets, or strategies relate to specified aims. In contemporary Estonian, sihtidele often appears in procedural language and official reporting, where clarity about how efforts serve particular aims is essential.

Overall, sihtidele functions as a grammatically specific way to reference the targets or aims that actions, plans, or resources are intended to address.
