tulemuslikule

Tulemuslikule is an inflected form of the Estonian adjective tulemuslik, which means productive, efficient, or outcome‑oriented. The form appears when the adjective modifies a noun in a case that expresses direction or beneficiary, typically the dative or allative in phrases describing targets, goals, or recipients. For example, tulemuslikule meeskonnale (to the productive team) or tulemuslikule eesmärgile suunatud meetmed (measures directed at a productive goal).

Etymology and grammar: tulemuslik is built from the noun tulemus (result) with the suffix -lik, creating the sense “result‑producing” or “outcome‑oriented.” The ending -ule marks the relevant case form for the adjective, aligning with the noun it describes. Thus, tulemuslikule functions as the attributive modifier in expressions that indicate direction, benefit, or focus toward a target.

Usage: In Estonian, tulemuslikule appears mainly in formal or administrative language, including management, policy, and educational contexts, where emphasis is placed on outcomes and performance. It is not typically used as a stand‑alone noun; rather, it forms part of a phrase describing whom or what is being targeted or evaluated. Common contexts include statements about teams, goals, projects, or initiatives that are intended to be productive or result‑oriented.

See also: tulemuslik, tulemuslikkus, efektiivsus. These terms relate to performance, efficiency, and outcome orientation in Estonian.
