tooteomanikelt

Tooteomanikelt is an Estonian grammatical form meaning “from the product owners.” It is the elative plural form of the compound noun tooteomanik, which is a combination of toode (product) in its genitive form toote and omanik (owner). The elative plural suffix -lt attaches to the entire compound, producing tooteomanikelt. The singular counterpart is tooteomanikult ("from the product owner"). This word is written as a single unit in standard Estonian.

Usage and meaning: tooteomanikelt marks origin or source when several product owners are involved. It is commonly used with verbs that indicate sourcing or reception of information, data, or feedback. Examples include: “Andmed pärinevad tooteomanikelt” (The data come from the product owners) and “tooteomanikelt saadud tagasiside oli kasulik” (the feedback obtained from the product owners was useful). The form helps distinguish sources in reports, surveys, and discussions about product development, especially in contexts where multiple stakeholders contribute input.

Grammatical notes: the form aligns with Estonian case and number patterns, reflecting origin from a plural subject. The singular elative would be tooteomanikult, used when referring to a single product owner instead of multiple owners. In everyday language, tooteomanik (product owner) is also a role in Scrum and Agile environments, and tooteomanikelt can appear in project reports or stakeholder communications to attribute information to those owners.
