Võistluseks

Võistluseks is the translative form of the Estonian noun võistlus, meaning a competition or contest. It expresses purpose, intended use, or designation, roughly translating to “for a competition” or “as a competition.” The form is used to indicate what something is prepared for, what it is intended to be used for, or what role something takes.

Grammatically, -ks is the translative suffix in Estonian. Võistluseks commonly accompanies nouns and phrases describing events, equipment, or plans that are meant for a competition. Typical constructions include võistluseks valmistuma (to prepare for a competition) and võistluseks sobiv (suitable for a competition).
