ümardamiseks

ümardamiseks is an Estonian verb infinitive derived from the verb “ümardada”, meaning “to update” or “to modify”. In Estonian grammar, infinitives are used to express purpose, reason, or the object of an action. As a purpose marker, “ümardamiseks” functions similarly to English “in order to update” or “for updating”. For example, in the sentence “Ma läksin kogu päeva tööle uued andmed sisestama ümardamiseks,” it indicates the motivation behind the action (entering new data to update information). It can also appear in subordinate clauses or after prepositions like “et” (in order that) or “et” (so that), though the latter is less common in modern usage. The form is consistent across different tenses and contexts, maintaining the infinitive structure without conjugation. This term is integral to conveying intent in formal or technical writing, where precision in purpose is crucial. Its usage reflects the grammatical system of Estonian, where infinitives play a key role in expressing various functional relationships between clauses and phrases.
