Täiustada

Täiustada is Eesti keeles transitiivne verb meaning to make something more complete, more refined, or of higher quality. The notion implies systematic improvement or enhancement rather than a one-off fix. It can be used for both concrete objects (hardware, software, products) and abstract constructs (plans, processes, policies).

Etymology and related forms: the verb is formed from täiuslik (perfect) with common Estonian verb-forming suffixes, giving a sense of bringing something closer to perfection. The word has corresponding nouns and adjectives, such as täiustamine (the act of refining or improving), täiend, and täiustatud (improved, refined).

Usage and nuances: täiustada is often used in contexts like product development, technology, and organizational processes, where ongoing improvement is emphasized. It can denote adding new features, increasing efficiency, fixing deficiencies, or enhancing usability. It is common to speak of täiustamine of a system, a process, or a plan, as well as to describe concrete improvements to a product.

Examples: Ettevõte plaanib tarkvara täiustada uute funktsioonidega. Me peame protsessi veelgi täiustama, et vähendada viivitusi. Tooted on varsti täiustatud ja kasutajamugavus on parandatud.

See also: synonyms in Estonian include parandama, arendama, viimistlema; antonym might refer to halvendama (to worsen) in contrast to improving. The term remains widely used in technical, business, and policy discourse to mark deliberate, iterative improvement.
