Arendamisesse

Arendamisesse is an Estonian grammatical form used to express movement toward a development-related activity or process. It is an illative form derived from the stem arend- of arendama (to develop) or from the noun arendus (development) and is marked with the illative suffix -sse, which signals direction toward a destination or goal. In practice, arendamisesse functions as the target of an action and appears in sentences describing directing resources, attention, or effort to development projects or initiatives.

Usage and context

The form is most common in formal, policy, or planning language rather than in everyday speech. It often occurs with verbs that indicate directing or allocating something to development, such as suunama (to direct) or investeerima (to invest). Examples include:

- Riiklikud programmid on suunatud arendamisse. (State programs are aimed at development.)

- Ettevõte investeerib arendamisse, et suurendada innovatsiooni. (The company invests in development to boost innovation.)

- Kulutused arendamisse on suurenenud viimase kümne aasta jooksul. (Expenditures into development have increased over the last decade.)

Linguistic notes

Arendamisesse is one of several illative forms used with development-related nouns or verb stems. It is predominantly found in formal discourse, reports, and policy documents, where it helps specify the direction or purpose of actions and funding.
