Teostumist

Teostumist is an Estonian noun meaning the act or process of realizing, carrying out, or fulfilling something—turning a plan, intention, promise, or obligation into a real outcome. It is often translated as realization or execution and emphasizes the transition from idea to result. The word is derived from the verb teostama (to realize, implement, or execute) with the noun-forming suffix -mine, and teostumist is commonly used in phrases such as teostumine, teostumine of a plan, or teostumine of obligations.

In usage, teostumist appears in business, legal, and administrative contexts as well as in everyday language. It denotes the completion or actualization of what was planned or required. In project management, for example, projekti teostumine refers to the project being carried out and delivered. In legal or contractual contexts, teostumine describes the fulfillment of duties, obligations, or decisions, such as lepingute teostumine (fulfillment of contracts) or kohtuotsuse teostumine (enforcement of a court decision). The term can also be used more generally to describe the realization of ideas or policies, signaling that an intended action has moved from concept to implementation.

Typical collocations include teostumine, teostumise protsess, and teostumine ajagraafikus. Related verbs are teostama (to realize/execute) and teostus (the act of realization or execution). The term is neutral and widely understood in formal and semi-formal Estonian discourse.
