Teisendamiseks

Teisendamiseks is Estonian and refers to the derivational form used to express purpose, roughly translating to “for the purpose of converting” or “for conversion.” It is formed from the verb teisendada (to convert, transform) with the suffix -miseks, which marks the infinitive construct used to indicate why an action is performed.

In practice, teisendamiseks appears in noun phrases that describe the purpose of an action or requirement. It commonly occurs with nouns in the genitive, attaching to the noun to form phrases like taotluse teisendamiseks or dokumentid teisendamiseks. A typical usage is teisendamiseks vajalikud dokumendid, meaning “documents necessary for conversion.” The construction is frequent in administrative, legal, and technical language where processes such as data format changes, system migrations, or regulatory transformations are described.

The related form teisendamine refers to the act of conversion itself (a noun meaning “conversion” or “transformation”). The verb form teisendada means “to convert/transform,” and the imperative form teisenda means “convert!” The phrase teisendamiseks thus functions as a purposeful or purposive adjunct within sentences, rather than a standalone tense form.

Notes on meaning and nuance: teisendamiseks does not denote the translated content of language translation; rather, it expresses the purpose of performing a conversion or transformation. Its use is more common in formal registers and official documents than in everyday speech.
