Lõppuvate

Lõppuvate is an Estonian word that translates to "ending" or "expiring" in English. It is the genitive plural form of the adjective lõppev, which means "ending" or "finishing." This grammatical form is used when referring to multiple things that are coming to an end or have an expiration date.

For example, one might use lõppuvate to describe lõppuvate tähtpäevadega arved, which translates to "invoices with expiring due dates." In this context, "lõppuvate" modifies "tähtpäevadega" (with due dates), indicating that multiple due dates are approaching their end. Similarly, lõppuvate pakkumiste, meaning "expiring offers," would refer to a collection of promotions or deals that are nearing their conclusion.

The word highlights a temporal aspect, signifying a transition from a state of being to a state of having concluded. It is a common term in everyday Estonian, particularly in contexts related to time-sensitive matters, such as contracts, services, or events. The understanding of lõppuvate is crucial for comprehending phrases that deal with deadlines, expirations, and the cessation of activities or periods.
