strateegilisel

Strateegilisel is the Estonian adessive singular form of the adjective strateegiline, meaning strategic. It is used to describe nouns in the adessive case and to indicate that something relates to strategy or occurs at a strategic level. For example, in the phrase strateegilisel tasandil, tasandil is the adessive form of tasand and strateegiline provides the semantic label “strategic.”

In practical use, strateegilisel is common in discussions within business, military, and policymaking contexts, where decisions are described as being made or considered at a strategic level rather than an operational or tactical level. It often appears in sentences such as: Otsused tehakse strateegilisel tasandil (Decisions are made at the strategic level) or Strateegilisel tasandil tuleb arvestada pikaajalisi riske (At the strategic level, long-term risks must be considered).

Grammatical notes: The form follows Estonian adjective agreement and changes to match the noun’s number and case. Strateegilisel is specifically the adessive singular form; plural usage would be strateegilistel for plural nouns in the adessive case (e.g., strateegilistel eesmärkidel, “for strategic purposes”). The base form strateegiline is used before nouns in other cases, and the related forms align with normal Estonian adjective inflection.
