Loomisel

Loomisel is an Estonian word meaning “in the making” or “in development.” It describes something that is not yet finished but is in an active phase of creation, planning, or production. The term is widely used across domains such as culture, media, business, and public discourse to indicate projects, works of art, products, or initiatives that are still being developed.

Etymology and usage: Loomisel is derived from the noun loomine (creation, making). The form loomisel functions as an adverbial or adjectival expression indicating ongoing process, and it can be used in both formal and informal contexts. It is common to encounter constructions like projekti on loomisel (the project is in development) or teos on loomisel (the work is in the making).

Contexts and examples: In arts and culture, loomisel is used to describe works not yet released, such as loomisel olev film (a film in production) or loomisel olev raamat (a book in the making). In business and technology, it appears in phrases like arendusfaasis loomiv rakendus (an application under development) or loomisel olev start-up (a startup in creation). As a predicative phrase, it can stand alone: See on loomisel (This is in the making).

Related terms: Related expressions include valmimise faasis (in the finishing stage) and arendusfaasis (in the development phase). While similar to arendamisel (under development) or valmimas (being completed), loomisel emphasizes the active, ongoing creation process.

Overall, loomisel serves as a concise way to label projects or works that have not yet reached completion but are actively being developed.
