sissetulekutesse

Sissetulekutesse is an Estonian grammatical form used in written language to indicate movement toward incomes. It is the illative plural form of the noun sissetulekud (incomes) and is used to express direction into or toward income sources or income-generating contexts.

Morphology and formation: In Estonian, the illative case marks movement into a place or direction toward something. For plural nouns, the illative form attaches to the plural stem, yielding sissetulekutesse from the plural sissetulekud. Thus sissetulekutesse literally means “into incomes” or “toward incomes.”

Usage: The form appears primarily in formal or technical texts, such as economics, budgeting, taxation, and policy discourse, where funds, revenues, or income streams are described as the destination of an action or flow. It is not a standalone concept but a grammatical construction used to specify direction toward incomes.

Examples:

Investeerimine sissetulekutesse on oluline osa pikaajalises majanduskäsitluses. (Investing into incomes is an important part of long-term economic planning.)

Valitsus keskendub sissetulekutesse suunatud meetmetele. (The government focuses on measures directed at incomes.)
