Vormideks

Vormideks is an Estonian grammatical form, used to indicate the translative case of the plural noun vormid, which means “forms.” In this sense, vormideks translates roughly to “into forms” or “as forms.” The translative case marks a change of state or a designation, and vormideks functions accordingly when speaking about transforming something into forms or presenting something as forms.

Morphology and usage: The base word is vorm (form) and its plural is vormid. To form the translative in the plural you attach the suffix -eks, yielding vormideks. A related singular form is vormiks, meaning “as a form.” Vormideks is most common in formal or technical language, such as grammar descriptions, data presentation, or design discussions, where there is a need to describe converting materials or information into forms or into a form-based representation.

Examples of use: Andmed tuleb vormideks esitada. This means that the data should be presented as forms (e.g., tables or templates). Another context might be discussing the conversion process, for instance, transforming concepts into forms or documents that can be used in a form-driven workflow.

Relation to broader grammar: Vormideks is part of the Estonian translative case system, which expresses becoming or changing into something. It contrasts with vormiks (singular) or forms in other cases, and it is most readily understood within discussions of morphology, language teaching, and technical writing.
