Raamimine

Raamimine is an Estonian term that denotes the act of placing a frame around an object, or the broader process of constructing a frame. The word is formed from raam, meaning "frame," and the -imine suffix, which marks a noun corresponding to an action or process.

In visual arts and photography, raamimine refers to selecting a suitable frame, matting, and glazing, and mounting the artwork on a backing board for display. The process includes choosing materials, colors, dimensions, and finishes that complement the work and its display environment.

In construction and carpentry, raamimine describes the fabrication or installation of frames, such as window frames, door frames, or picture frames within a building. It covers measuring, joining, fitting, and securing components to ensure alignment and stability.

Linguistically, raamimine can be used more broadly to describe presenting a subject within a particular frame or context, which influences interpretation.
