Järgmisesse

Järgmisesse is an Estonian word formed as the illative singular form of the adjective järg­mine, meaning “next” or “following.” It is used to express motion toward or into the next item in a sequence, the next time period, or the next place, and it typically accompanies a noun in illative case.

Grammar and formation: Järgmisesse is built from the base adjective järg­mine with the illative suffix -sse, which marks motion into or toward something. Because Estonian does not have gender or grammatical articles, järgamisesse agrees with the noun it modifies in case, not in gender. The form is most commonly found before nouns in the illative case, as in the phrases described below.

Usage: Järgmisesse is used to indicate entering, moving toward, or progressing into the next segment of a set or timeline. It is frequently found in planning, instructions, and narrative context where steps or periods are being described. It can pair with time words or with concrete nouns denoting places or stages.

Examples:

- jär­gmisesse aastasse — to the next year

- jär­gmisesse etappi — to the next stage

- jär­gmisesse ruumi — into the next room (with a suitable noun in illative)

Etymology: The form derives from the Estonian root järg- meaning “to follow” or “next,” combined with the illative suffix -sse to indicate direction toward the next element.
