Suurenemisest

Suurenemisest is an Estonian noun form related to suurenemine, meaning enlargement or growth. It denotes the process or result of increasing in size, extent, or degree. The word is formed from the stem suur-, indicating “large,” with the suffix -emine to make a noun describing a process, and with the elative case ending -st to mark source, topic, or reference in a sentence.

In usage, suurenemisest appears mainly in formal or academic prose to indicate that a discussion, analysis, or observation concerns growth or enlargement. It is typically used with verbs and nouns that require the elative case, signaling what the statement is about or where the focus lies.

Relation to related terms: suurenemisest is connected with suurendumine (the act of making larger) and with kasv (growth). It can contrast with laienemine (spatial widening or broadening) depending on the context and the specific verb or noun governing the sentence.

Notes on usage: as with other Estonian noun forms, the exact meaning of suurenemisest is determined by the surrounding verb and case structure, so translations as “about enlargement” or “from enlargement” may vary with context.
