tehnoloogilisele

Tehnoloogilisele is an Estonian inflected form of the adjective tehnoloogiline, meaning technological. It is used when the adjective modifies a noun in the allative case, marking direction toward or a target of an action, often translating to to/for the technological X in English. Like other Estonian adjectives, tehnoloogiline agrees with the noun in case and number, so its ending changes to match.

In usage, tehnoloogilisele appears in formal or technical prose to describe aspects tied to technology, research, policy targets, and organizational areas. Examples include tehnoloogilisele arengule (to technological development), tehnoloogilisele eesmärgile (to the technological objective), and tehnoloogilisele valdkonnale (to the technological field). The form is typically part of longer noun phrases rather than standing alone.

Etymology: tehnoloogiline combines tehnoloogia (technology) with the suffix -iline to form "technological." The allative form -lisele attaches to the adjective to govern a following noun in the allative case, as in the examples above. The base adjective also has other declined forms to agree with different cases.
