Õppuritele

Õppuritele is the allative plural form of the Estonian noun õppur, meaning a learner or student. It functions as the recipient or beneficiary within a sentence and is translated as “to the learners” or “for the learners.” The form is used when indicating the indirect object of an action or the intended audience of material or services.

The word is formed from the stem õppur- plus the allative plural suffix -tele, yielding õppuritele. Estonian uses this case to mark direction toward a group of recipients. In practice, you may encounter phrases such as midagi õppuritele “something for the learners” or anda õppuritele “to give to the learners.” The allative plural often co-occurs with verbs that describe providing, offering, or addressing content to a group.

In educational and institutional contexts, õppuritele appears in manuals, course descriptions, software interfaces, and public materials to designate content targeted at learners. It does not carry gender or a separate notion of number beyond the grammatical number of the noun it accompanies, and it aligns with other allative forms such as õpetajatele (to teachers) or vanematele (to parents). Functional equivalents in English include “to the learners” and “for the learners.”
