Tagastamiseks

Tagastamiseks is an Estonian grammatical form derived from the verb tagastama, meaning to return. It functions as a purposive infinitive, translating roughly as “for returning” or “for the purpose of returning.” It is used to express the purpose of an action or to indicate what something is intended for.

The form is created by adding the suffix -miseks to the stem tagasta- of the verb tagastama. In usage, tagastamiseks often appears in phrases that describe intention, instructions, or policies, especially in formal or written language. It is not a finite verb form but a purposive construction that can modify or relate to other elements in a sentence.

Common contexts include return policies, procedures, and product handling. For example, tagastamiseks on 14 päeva alates ostukuupäevast means “There are 14 days for returns from the date of purchase.” Toote tagastamiseks palume esitada ostutšekk means “For returning the product, please present the receipt.” Tagastamiseks vajalikud dokumendid tuleb esitada hiljemalt 30 päeva jooksul translates to “The documents required for return must be submitted within 30 days.”

Related terms include tagastamine (the act of returning) and tagastamise (the genitive of return). Tagastamiseks is most frequently found in administrative, commercial, and instructional texts to indicate the purpose of a procedure or policy.
