väljunditele

Väljunditele is an Estonian grammatical form used to express direction toward multiple outputs or outlets. It represents the allative plural case of the noun väljund, which can mean output, exit, or outlet depending on context. In English, it corresponds to the idea of “to the outputs” or “to the outlets.”

Form and function: In Estonian, the allative case marks movement or orientation toward a destination. For plural nouns, the typical ending is -itele, producing väljunditele from the base word väljund. This form is distinct from other plural cases such as the genitive plural, which is involed in forms like väljundide. Although allative forms often follow verbs of direction or prepositions that require a destination, väljunditele specifically indicates the destination as multiple outputs or outlets.

Usage examples: A common usage would be in technical or infrastructural descriptions, for instance: Signaal suunati väljunditele. (The signal was directed to the outputs.) In broader contexts, väljunditele can appear in sentences describing connections, routes, or pathways leading toward multiple endpoints or interfaces.

Related terms: The base noun väljund covers meanings like output, exit, or outlet, and appears in other cases such as nominative väljundid (outputs) or genitive वी väljundide (of the outputs). The allative plural form väljunditele is one of several directional inflections used in Estonian to indicate destination.
