töökohtadelt

Töökohtadelt is the genitive plural form of the Estonian word "töökoht," which translates to "workplace" or "job" in English. Therefore, "töökohtadelt" literally means "from the workplaces" or "from the jobs." This grammatical form is used when indicating movement away from or origin from one or more places of employment.

In Estonian grammar, the elative case, indicated by the suffix "-lt," is used to express movement from a place. When applied to the plural "töökoht," the genitive plural "töökohtade" becomes the base, and the "-lt" suffix is added, resulting in "töökohtadelt."

For example, a sentence might read: "Ta sai palju kasulikke kogemusi töökohtadelt, kus ta on varem töötanud." This translates to "He gained much valuable experience from the workplaces where he has previously worked." Another example could be: "Meile laekus palju avaldusi erinevatelt töökohtadelt." which means "We received many applications from various jobs." The context of the sentence will clarify whether it refers to physical locations or specific employment positions. Understanding the grammatical function of "töökohtadelt" is crucial for comprehending Estonian sentences that discuss experiences, origins, or information derived from professional settings.
