Läbikukkumise

Läbikukkumise is an Estonian noun that broadly describes the state of having been fully completed or accomplished. The term derives from the verb läbikukkuma, which literally means “to finish through,” combining the prefix läbi (“through”) with the root kukkuma (“to end” or “to finish”). In everyday usage läbikukkumine can refer to the finalization of a task, project, or phase of work, and it is often employed in contexts that require a formal or bureaucratic acknowledgment of completion.

In education, läbikukkumise is used to denote a student’s successful passing of an examination or the completion of a curriculum requirement. It is recorded in certificates and transcript lines to confirm that the student met all stipulated criteria. In construction and civil engineering, the term is adopted to indicate that a structure or component has met the design parameters and has passed quality inspections, thereby certifying it as ready for further use.

In administrative law and public projects, läbikukkumise often accompanies financial reports, marking the closing of a budgetary line and confirming that all obligations under a contract have been fulfilled. The expression emphasizes thoroughness and the absence of outstanding obligations, serving as a formal guarantee of finality.
