Varungimised

Varungimised is a term that may appear in Estonian-language texts as a plural noun formed from a verb by the process of infinitive nominalization, which typically uses the suffix -mine and, for plural, -mised. There is no widely cited, standard definition in major dictionaries, so the exact sense of varungimised depends on the underlying verb and the domain of use.

In Estonian grammar, many verbs can be converted into nouns through the -mine suffix, and the resulting nouns commonly take a plural ending such as -mised when referring to multiple instances, processes, or forms. Therefore varungimised would generally be understood as “the processes of varungimine” or “the variations,” depending on the context. The word is likely to occur in linguistic, academic, or descriptive texts rather than in everyday speech.

Because varungimised lacks a fixed, widely recognized meaning, its interpretation is highly context-dependent. In a linguistic analysis, it could denote multiple instances of a verbal process (for example, multiple variations or actions described by the verb). In other domains, the sense would align with the specific verb from which the noun is derived. As with many Estonian noun forms created from verbs, clarity comes from the surrounding sentence and the referenced verb.
