Pööramise

Pööramise is the genitive singular form of the Estonian noun pööramine, which denotes the act or process of turning or rotating around an axis, or a change of direction. The word is formed from the verb pöörama (to turn) with the nominalizing suffix -mine. It is used across everyday language and technical contexts to refer to turning or rotation.

In everyday language, pööramine describes movements such as turning a vehicle, a knob, or a person’s body to face a different direction. In science and engineering, the term can refer to rotational motion of objects in mechanics or physics, where rotation about a fixed axis is a common topic. In such contexts, related terms like pöörlemine are often used to emphasize the motion itself, while pööramine can refer more broadly to the act or event of turning.

Pööramise appears in various noun phrases, including expressions that describe characteristics of turning, such as the speed or direction of rotation. The general concept connects to related Estonian terms such as pööre (a turn or bend, typically in a road or path) and pöörlemine (the process or act of rotation).

See also: pöörlemine, pööre. Pööramine and its genitive pööramise thus function as fundamental linguistic and technical terms for discussing turning and rotation in Estonian.
