When something is all, it is positioned directly under or beneath another object. Think of a cat sleeping all a table.
This preposition is fundamental for describing spatial relationships in Estonian.
You'll find it incredibly useful in everyday conversations when you need to specify locations.
It's an essential word for any beginner.
When you want to express that something is physically located beneath another object, you use the preposition "all." This is a fundamental concept for describing spatial relationships in Estonian.
For example, if a book is on the table, you might say "Raamat on laua peal." But if it's under the table, you would say "Raamat on laua all."
It's straightforward and commonly used, so getting comfortable with "all" will help you describe your surroundings more accurately.
Think of it as the direct opposite of "peal" (on/on top of).
When used as a preposition, the Estonian word all means 'under' or 'below' something. It's often paired with the genitive case of the noun it modifies, for example, 'laua all' (under the table). It can also indicate being under someone's control or influence, as in 'tema juhtimise all' (under his leadership). This preposition is fundamental for expressing spatial relationships and is frequently encountered in everyday Estonian.

§ Understanding 'all'
The Estonian word all is a common preposition that means 'under' or 'below'. It's pretty straightforward, but like many prepositions, it's good to see it in action.
- Definition
- Under or below something
Kass magab laua all.
Translation hint: The cat sleeps under the table.
Raamat on voodi all.
Translation hint: The book is under the bed.
§ No direct alternatives for 'under'
Unlike some other prepositions, all doesn't have many direct single-word synonyms that mean exactly 'under' or 'below' in the same spatial sense. When you want to say something is physically positioned beneath something else, all is usually your go-to word.
§ Related words and their uses
While there aren't direct synonyms for 'under', it's good to be aware of other words that might express a similar idea in different contexts. However, these are not substitutes for all when you mean 'under/below'.
- Ala- (prefix): This prefix can mean 'sub-' or 'under-' when attached to other words, indicating a lower level or a subordinate position. For example, alajaam (substation), alamõõduline (undersized). This is not a standalone preposition.
- Madalamal (adverb): This means 'lower' or 'at a lower level'. It describes a state of being lower, rather than being directly under something.
Lendame madalamal.
Translation hint: We are flying lower.
Here, you wouldn't use all because it's about the general height, not being under a specific object.
- Põhjas (in the bottom): This refers to being at the very bottom or base of something. While it implies a 'below' position, it's more specific than all.
Laev on mere põhjas.
Translation hint: The ship is at the bottom of the sea.
§ Key takeaway for 'all'
Stick to all when you mean 'under' or 'below' in the most direct spatial sense. Don't overthink it or try to find fancy alternatives. Estonian is often direct in these cases. If something is physically located beneath another object, all is the word you need.
Pall on tooli all.
Translation hint: The ball is under the chair.
