Kiirustamisele

Kiirustamisele is the allative form of the Estonian noun kiirustamine, which refers to the act or process of speeding up or accelerating. The base kiirustamine is a deverbal noun formed from kiirustama (to speed up) or kiirus (speed) with the -mine suffix, meaning “the act of speeding up.” The allative form kiirustamisele expresses direction toward that action in sentences that require a target or direction.

In linguistic and grammatical contexts, kiirustamisele is used to denote the concept of directing attention, discussion, or action toward speeding up. It appears primarily in formal, descriptive, or theoretical text about Estonian morphology and syntax, rather than in everyday conversation. When Estonian speakers want to talk about the general idea of speeding up in everyday language, they typically use kiirustamine or kiirustada, with the appropriate case and mood applied to the surrounding sentence structure.

In everyday usage, kiirustamine as a noun commonly means speeding in a general sense, such as speeding in driving. The allative kiirustamisele is a more specialized grammatical form that often occurs in linguistic analysis, grammatical descriptions, or legal or technical writing where the direction toward the action is foregrounded. Because kiirustamisele is dependent on the allative case, its use remains relatively restricted outside of such contexts.
