teadlasele

Teadlasele is the allative singular form of the Estonian noun teadlane, which means scientist. The allative case marks direction toward a person or thing and is used to indicate the recipient of an action, the target of a verb, or the entity to whom something is given, sent, or addressed.

These examples show how teadlasele is used with verbs of giving, sending, or presenting information to the recipient.
