Kohanemisel

Kohanemisel is an Estonian term that denotes the state or process of adaptation. It is the adessive form of the noun kohanemine, which refers to adaptation or acclimatization to new conditions. The concept covers adjusting to new environments, systems, or routines, whether in work, education, migration, or technology.

In usage, kohanemisel describes being in the midst of adaptation. It is commonly used to talk about how individuals or groups adjust to changes such as starting a new job, moving to a different country, or adopting new processes or tools. Phrases like “kohanemisel uue töökeskkonnaga” convey the idea of adapting to a new work environment.

Etymology and related forms: The Estonian verb kohanema means to adapt, and kohandama means to adjust or tailor. The noun kohanemine denotes the act or process of adaptation, while kohandanemine or kohandumine (depending on context) can indicate related ideas of adjustment or becoming accustomed. Kohanemisel is therefore closely tied to these terms and is used when emphasizing the ongoing state of adaptation.

See also: kohanemine, kohandamine, kohandumine. The term is primarily used in social, educational, organizational, and cultural discussions to describe how people and organizations become compatible with new conditions.
