Trükkimiseks

Trükkimiseks is an Estonian non-finite verb form derived from the verb trükkima, meaning to print. It expresses purpose, roughly equivalent to the English expression "for printing" or "in order to print." The form is built by adding the suffix -miseks to the -ma infinitive stem, producing a purpose-oriented verbal form that can modify a noun or introduce a purpose clause.

In usage, trükkimiseks mainly appears in noun phrases to indicate the intended action. It typically answers questions like "for what?" or "for printing." It can also occur within sentences where the action of printing is the objective of another action. The form is common in technical, instructional, and administrative language where conciseness is valued.

Examples:

- Selle dokumendi trükkimiseks kasutame uut printerit. (For printing this document, we use a new printer.)

- Trükkimiseks vajalikud vahendid on laos. (Tools needed for printing are in stock.)

- Dokumentide vormide täitmine trükkimiseks toimub printeri kaudu. (Filling out the document forms for printing takes place via the printer.)

Related terms include trükkimine (the act of printing) and trükkimisel (in printing), which demonstrate contrasts between the act itself and its purposes or contexts. Trükkimiseks is a standard grammatical tool in Estonian for compactly indicating the intended printing-related action.
