Viljelemiseks

Viljelemiseks is an Estonian term formed from the verb viljelema (to cultivate, to farm) with the suffix -miseks, which marks purpose. The phrase generally translates to “for cultivation” or “in order to cultivate,” and is used to indicate the intended use, aim, or function of an action, object, or policy.

In grammar and usage, viljelemiseks functions similarly to other purpose-forming constructions in Estonian, such as kasutamiseks (for use) or organiseerimiseks (for organizing). It accompanies a noun phrase or a clause to specify why something is done or what it is intended for. For example, it can appear after a noun to describe the purpose of equipment, resources, or procedures, or after a verb in a nominalized construction to express a goal.

Examples:

- See masin on mõeldud viljelemiseks. (This machine is intended for cultivation.)

- Põllukultuuride viljelemiseks on vaja sobivaid ressursse. (For cultivating crops, suitable resources are needed.)

- Õppematerjalid on koostatud viljelemiseks ja praktikasse rakendamiseks. (The teaching materials are prepared for cultivation and practical application.)

In writing, viljelemiseks is typically used in technical, agricultural, or policy-related contexts where the purpose of an action or object is being specified. It can be contrasted with other purpose markers such as kasutamiseks (for use) or eesmärgiks (as an objective). Overall, viljelemiseks provides a concise way to express agricultural or cultivation-related aims in Estonian texts.
