Edasiandmist

Edasiandmist is an Estonian noun describing the act or process of handing over, forwarding, or transmitting something from one party to another. It derives from the verb edastama (to transmit, relay) and the noun edasiandmine (the act of handing over). The form edasiandmist is the partitive singular of edasiandmine, used when the sentence requires a partitive object or an indefinite quantity.

Contexts and meanings include information technology and communications for data or message transmission; broadcasting and media for content transmission; logistics and administration for transfer of goods or responsibilities; and legal contexts for transfer of ownership or duties. The term can also denote the dissemination of information or the forwarding of messages within a system.

Related terms are edastamine (transmission/forwarding), edastus (transmission), and the base idea of edasiandmine. In grammar, edasiandmist is a case form (partitive) used after negation or in phrases denoting an indefinite amount or extent. It is typically replaced by the nominative edasiandmine in a neutral, non-partitive context.

Examples: Estonian: “Andmete edasiandmist kontrollivad turvalised protokollid.” English: “The transmission of data is controlled by secure protocols.” Another: “Seaduses on sätestatud edasiandmist puudutavad kohustused.” English: “The obligations concerning the transmission are set out in law.”
