Tasumisel

Tasumisel is an Estonian noun form derived from the verb tasuma (to pay). It denotes the act or state of paying, specifically the process or moment during which payment takes place. In legal and financial language, tasumisel is used to refer to payment-related timing, obligations, or conditions that apply while payment is being made.

Etymology and formation: tasumisel is built from tasuma with the suffix -misel, a productive ending in Estonian that creates a noun indicating the act or situation “in the course of” something. The term is closely related to tasumine (the act of paying) but emphasizes the ongoing or contextual aspect of payment.

Usage and contexts: Tasumisel appears in contracts, invoices, and statutes to specify when payment-related requirements apply. It can indicate timing, conditions, or duties tied to the act of paying. Typical constructions include phrases like arve tasumisel (upon payment of the invoice) and tasumisel tähtajad (payment deadlines). The term helps distinguish the moment of payment from other financial actions such as invoicing, credit approval, or receipt of funds.

Examples:

- Arve tasumisel tuleb järgida 14-päevast maksetähtaega. (During the payment of the invoice, a 14-day payment deadline applies.)

- Tasumisel viivituste korral võib olla lisakaristus. (In the event of delays during payment, there may be additional penalties.)

See also: tasuma, tasumine, maksmine, arvete tasumine, viivis.

Tasumisel thus functions as a specialized linguistic tool in Estonian for discussing the payment phase within legal and financial discourse.
