Kontrollimiseks

Kontrollimiseks is an Estonian non-finite form that marks purpose and can be translated roughly as “for the purpose of checking” or “to be used for control.” It is formed from the verb kontrollima (to check, to verify) with the suffix -miseks, which creates a phrase indicating what something is for. The result is commonly used in formal, technical, and administrative language to specify the intended use or action of a tool, document, procedure, or process.

Usage and meaning

Kontrollimiseks expresses the purpose of an action or object. It often appears in phrases describing what is required, prepared, or used to achieve verification or inspection. Examples:

- andmete kontrollimiseks — for data verification

- kontrollimiseks mõeldud vorm — a form intended for verification

- selle tööriista kasutamine on kontrollimiseks vajalik — using this tool is necessary for verification

In sentences, kontrollimiseks typically accompanies a noun or a clause that denotes the action being served by the purpose, rather than acting as a finite verb.

Relation to other forms

Kontrollimiseks is closely related to kontrollimine (the noun meaning “control” or “verification”) and to other purpose expressions formed with -miseks. It is distinct from phrase-final forms using -miseks with the noun kontrollimine or the preposition jaoks, which can convey slightly different nuances of purpose or possession of a function.

In sum, kontrollimiseks is a functional Estonian tool for stating that something is intended for the purpose of checking, inspecting, or verifying. It is widely used in documentation, forms, and procedural texts to clarify requirements and intended use.
