sihtkohtades

Sihtkohtades is the Estonian locative plural form of the noun sihtkoht, which means destination or site. In English, it is glossed as “in destinations” or “at destinations.” The form is used when referring to multiple places as destinations within a region, itinerary, or discussion.

Morphology and form: Sihtkohtades is built from the stem sihtkoht- combined with the plural locative suffix -des, yielding the sense of movement or placement within several destinations. It is distinct from sihtkohtade, the genitive plural meaning “of destinations.” The two forms mirror how Estonian marks number and case, signaling both quantity and spatial relation.

Usage: The locative plural appears in travel writing, regional planning, and linguistic descriptions where the discourse centers on several destinations rather than a single one. In translations, sihtkohtades is typically rendered as “in destinations” or “at destinations,” with natural Estonian word order maintained by the surrounding sentence structure.

Examples and context: In Estonian prose or guides, sihtkohtades may appear when listing regions or routes that include multiple places under discussion or consideration. In English translations, the phrase would usually be adapted to fit fluent phrasing, such as “the destinations” within a route or itinerary, depending on the grammatical role of the phrase in the sentence.
