Kinnituse

Kinnituse is an Estonian noun meaning a certificate, attestation, proof, or confirmation. It denotes a document or statement that verifies a fact or claim. In Estonian, kinnitus means proof or affirmation, and kinnituse is its genitive singular form used in compound expressions.

In practice, kinnituse appears in legal, administrative, and commercial contexts to refer to documents or attestations that certify an asserted fact, such as a degree, a service qualification, or proof of identity.

The plural form is kinnitused. Related terms include tõend (proof) and dokument (document). In modern usage, the concept may appear with digital or official authentication, where a kinnitus serves as evidence of status or entitlement.

Kinnituse is primarily a linguistic term rather than a geographical or political proper noun, and it is not used as a place name. It is commonly encountered in discussions of documentation, certification, and verification within Estonian language contexts.
