Kogunemiseks

Kogunemiseks is an Estonian non-finite form derived from the verb kogunema, meaning to gather. It is formed with the suffix -miseks and functions as an infinitive of purpose. In grammar, this form expresses the purpose or intended outcome of an action, roughly equivalent to “in order to gather” or “for gathering” in English. It is not a tense or finite verb form, but a non-finite form used to modify nouns or to indicate purpose within a larger construction.

Usage and nuances: Kogunemiseks is typically found in formal or official language, especially in compound noun phrases. Examples include kogunemiseks mõeldud ruumid (rooms intended for gatherings) and kogunemiseks vajalikud eeskirjad (rules necessary for the gathering). The form can indicate intention, requirement, or suitability of something for gathering. It often appears alongside adjectives or nouns to specify what the item or action is for.

Semantic range: The term covers both social gatherings of people (meetings, assemblies) and the abstract sense of gathering or accumulation, depending on context. In public or organizational discourse, kogunemiseks frequently relates to planning and arranging events, while in other contexts it can describe features or conditions prepared for gathering purposes.

Relation to related forms: Kogunemiseks is related to the noun kogunemine, which denotes the act of gathering itself. While kogunemine is a concrete noun, kogunemiseks is a purposeful non-finite form used to describe intent or function of objects, spaces, or procedures related to gathering.
