tolerantsidele

Tolerantsidele is an Estonian morphological form rather than a separate concept. It is the dative plural form of a noun meaning “the tolerant” and is used when referring to the indirect object or recipient of an action in relation to tolerant people.

Etymology and formation: The root tolerant is a loanword in Estonian meaning a person who is tolerant. In regular Estonian inflection, the dative plural for a noun of this type is formed with the suffix -idele, yielding tolerantsidele. This form signals “to the tolerant ones” or “for the tolerant people.”

Usage: Tolerantsidele appears primarily in sentences that require an indirect object or recipient. It is more common in formal or descriptive contexts than in everyday speech. It can appear in discussions about campaigns, policies, or appeals that target a group described as tolerant, or in rhetorical writing addressing such a group.

Examples:

- See kampaania on mõeldud tolerantsidele. (This campaign is intended for the tolerant ones.)

- Pöördugem tolerantsidele tähelepanu. (Let us address the tolerant people.)

Notes: Because tolerantsidele is a grammatical form, it does not denote a distinct organization, movement, or concept by itself. Its interpretation depends on the surrounding context and the noun it derives from. In most standard texts, the form is encountered only as part of larger sentences describing actions involving a group labeled as tolerant.
