Täiendusteks

Täiendusteks is an Estonian term used to describe items, materials, or resources that are intended to function as supplements to a primary set, program, or text. The expression is most common in formal writing, procurement lists, and educational contexts, where it designates additional content or materials that accompany the main offering.

Linguistically, täiendusteks is formed from the noun täiendus meaning addition or supplement, combined with the translative suffix -eks, which marks function or role. The phrase is used to express that something serves “as supplements” rather than as central or primary components. It is often encountered in official documents, curricula, and inventory lists.

Usage of täiendusteks spans several domains. In education and publishing, it appears when listing optional or supplementary materials to accompany core textbooks or courses. In budgeting and procurement, it can indicate funds, goods, or services that are intended to supplement existing resources. The term helps clarify scope by distinguishing main components from supplementary additions.

Example: Need materjalid on koostatud täiendusteks põhikursusele. (These materials are prepared as supplements to the core course.) Another common context is usage in formal proposals or reports to label appendices or extra resources as täiendusteks.
