teadlikule

Teadlikule is the allative singular form of the Estonian adjective teadlik, meaning conscious or aware. In Estonian grammar, adjectives inflect to agree with the noun they modify, and the allative suffix -le marks a directional or recipient sense. Therefore, teadlikule is used before a noun in the allative case to mean “to/for the conscious or aware [person or group].” It is not a standalone noun, but a modifier that expresses targeting or direction in a phrase.

Usage of teadlikule occurs mainly in formal or instructional contexts, such as education, media, or policy language, where speakers want to specify the recipient of information, advice, or action. It commonly appears in noun phrases like teadlikule tarbijale (to the mindful consumer) or teadlikule publikule (to the conscious audience).

Examples include sentences such as: Kampaania oli suunatud teadlikule tarbijale. Uudised on mõeldud teadlikule publikule. Tegevus on suunatud teadlikule kogukonnale. These constructions illustrate how the allative form of the adjective can indicate the target of communication or action without requiring a separate noun to carry the case marking.
