töölehel

Töölehel is an Estonian term that functions as a compound noun meaning “worksheet” or “work sheet.” It combines the words töö (work) and leht (sheet, leaf). The term is used in two main contexts: education and information technology. In education, a tööleht is a page or document that contains exercises, tasks, or problems for students to complete, typically used to reinforce a lesson. Töölehed can be printed handouts or digital documents such as PDFs or interactive worksheets.

In computing, a tööleht refers to a worksheet within a spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. A workbook may contain multiple töölehed, each offering its own grid of cells organized into rows and columns for data entry, calculations, and analysis. The concept is parallel to a separate page or sheet within a larger document.

Grammatically, tööleh is declined like a standard Estonian noun. The locative/adessive form “töölehel” means “on the worksheet,” as in “Töölehel on harjutusi” (There are exercises on the worksheet). The genitive is “töölehe,” the partitive “töölehte,” and the plural nominative is “töölehed.” In spreadsheets, the term denotes a distinct page within a workbook, while in education it denotes an individual exercise page.
