Programmeerimiseni

Programmeerimiseni is an Estonian grammatical form derived from the noun programmeerimine, meaning programming. The suffix -ni marks the allative case, which in Estonian denotes direction toward or up to something. Therefore, programmeerimiseni literally translates to “to programming” or “up to programming,” depending on context.

As a case form, programmeerimiseni is a bound morpheme used in phrases to express goals, destinations, or limits within a sentence. It is not a standalone concept but an inflected form of programmeerimine.

Typical usage occurs in educational, technological, or curricular contexts that discuss progression toward programming skills, milestones in a project timeline, or goals within a learning plan. In practice, it often appears with prepositional phrases such as kuni or jõuda to indicate reaching programming as a target.
