uneltele

Uneltele is a form found in the Estonian language. It is associated with the verb unelda, which means to dream or to fantasize. In grammatical terms, uneltele functions as an imperative mood form that is used to address more than one person, roughly translating to “dream!” or “dream on!” in English. The imperative forms of Estonian verbs are used to issue commands, wishes, or exhortations, and uneltele is one of the forms that can appear in literary or rhetorical contexts.

In usage, uneltele tends to appear more often in poetry, song lyrics, and other creative writing, where calls to imagine, hope, or envision possibilities are common. It is less typical in everyday speech, where speakers might choose other imperative constructions depending on style, register, and regional variation. The form exemplifies how Estonian expresses second-person plural imperatives and how dreams or imagined futures can be framed as an exhortation.

Linguistic relevance aside from its immediate meaning, uneltele is sometimes cited in discussions of Estonian verb morphology as an example of how imperative endings interact with person and number in the language’s conjugation system. It illustrates the broader role of dream-related vocabulary in Estonian literature and everyday language.
