Saatmine

Saatmine is the Estonian noun for the act or process of sending something from one party to another. It is derived from the verb saata (to send) and is used to describe both physical dispatch, such as letters or parcels, and the digital transmission of data, messages, or files. In everyday and technical language, saatmine encompasses the movement of items or information from sender to recipient.

In grammar, saatmine is a deverbal noun formed with the -mine suffix. It appears in phrases such as kauba saatmine (the sending of goods) or e-posti saatmine (the sending of an email). The related noun saadetis denotes the thing that is sent, i.e., the shipment or delivery item, while the act itself is referred to as saatmine. The concept sits alongside related terms like vastuvõtt (reception) and edastus (transmission) in linguistic and technical contexts.

In practical use, saatmine is central to postal and logistics services as well as to information technology. In postal systems, it describes the dispatch of mail and parcels from sender to recipient, often with a tracking component. In digital communications, saatmine covers operations such as sending emails, transferring files, or transmitting data between devices and networks. The term is widely understood across contexts to refer to the process of moving something from one point to another.
