Jätkamiseks

Jätkamiseks is an Estonian term that conveys the idea of “for continuation” or “for the purpose of continuing.” It is formed from the noun or verb stem related to continuation and the suffix -miseks, which marks purpose, similar to the English phrase “for the continuation of.” The form is typical in formal, administrative, or technical language.

Use and meaning

Jätkamiseks is used to indicate the purpose of an action, plan, or resource in order to keep a process or project going. It often appears in noun phrases attributing necessity or designation to ongoing activities. In everyday speech speakers may prefer more direct expressions such as “et jätkata” (to continue) or “jätkata,” but -amiseks appears frequently in policy texts, project plans, and official provisions to specify continuation-related aims.

Formation and related terms

The base concept is continuation (jätkamine). Related forms include jätkata (to continue) and jätkamine (continuation as a noun). The -miseks suffix is part of a broader pattern in Estonian for forming purpose expressions from nouns or verb stems, similar to other words like arenguks (for development) or paranduslikuks (for repair), depending on stem and context.

Examples

- Jätkamiseks vajalikud vahendid tuleb eraldada. (Funds necessary for continuation must be allocated.)

- Dokument käsitleb jätkamiseks vajalikke samme. (The document discusses steps required for continuation.)

- Ta esitas taotluse jätkamiseks. (He submitted an application for continuation.)

Notes

Jätkamiseks is primarily seen in formal contexts and technical writing. In everyday language, speakers more commonly use verb-based constructions to express continuing actions.
