Tõestuseks

Tõestuseks is an Estonian word that translates to "as proof" or "for evidence" in English. It is commonly used in legal and formal contexts to indicate that something is being presented as a piece of evidence or as a demonstration of a fact. The word is formed by combining the noun "tõestus" (proof, evidence) with the suffix "-ks," which often denotes purpose or result.

In practice, "tõestuseks" might appear in sentences like "Ta esitas dokumendid tõestuseks, et ta oli kohal" (He presented the documents as proof that he was present) or "See kõne oli tema süüteo tõestuseks" (This speech was evidence of his crime). The term emphasizes the function of the presented item or action in substantiating a claim or establishing a truth. It signifies the transition from an assertion to its substantiation, serving as a crucial element in arguments, investigations, and legal proceedings. The careful use of "tõestuseks" ensures clarity and precision in conveying the evidentiary nature of a statement or exhibit.
