Pärimine

Pärimine is a term found in Estonian-language sources with several possible meanings depending on context. In linguistic and bureaucratic usage, it is a noun formed with the suffix -mine from the verb pärima, meaning to inquire or to request information. In this sense, pärimine denotes the act of asking for information or a formal data request and can appear in official correspondence and procedural texts.

Beyond its functional use in language, Pärimine may also be encountered as a surname or a place name in Estonia, though it is not common. As a surname, it would follow standard Estonian surname conventions and may be carried by individuals or families; as a place name, it could designate a locale, estate, or historic site in local contexts, depending on region.

Because Pärimine is not the name of a widely recognized concept in international reference works, its precise meaning is best determined by the surrounding text. In encyclopedic use, the term is typically qualified by context to distinguish between linguistic usage, onomastic (name-related) usage, or geographical usage.
