tarbijatele

Tarbijatele is an Estonian linguistic form meaning “to consumers” or “for consumers.” It is the dative plural form of tarbija (consumer) and is commonly used to indicate the group that a statement, obligation, or provision is addressed to.

In legislation and official documents, Tarbijatele appears in phrases such as Tarbijatele mõeldud tooted (“products intended for consumers”) or Tarbijatele ja kasutajatele (“to consumers and users”), marking provisions that protect or affect consumers. In advertising and labeling, the form is used to specify that information or terms apply to consumers as a target audience. The term thus helps distinguish who is meant to receive rights, notices, or obligations.

Grammatical notes: Tarbijatele derives from tarbija with a dative plural ending. Estonian relies on case inflection to indicate recipients or beneficiaries, and tarbijatele is a standard form used when referring to “to the consumers” in both formal and everyday language.
