ehitamiseks

Ehitamiseks is an Estonian non-finite verbal noun meaning “for construction” or “for building.” It is formed from the verb ehitama (to build) with the suffix -miseks, which marks purpose. The form is used to express the intended use or purpose of something.

Usage and examples follow a common pattern in Estonian noun phrases. It often appears together with adjectives or other modifiers to specify what something is for. For example: “ehitamiseks vajalikud materjalid” translates to “materials needed for construction.” Another example could be “projektide rahastamine ehitamiseks” meaning “funding for construction.” In such phrases, ehitamiseks functions as a fixed modifier that denotes purpose, while the accompanying words provide agreement and detail.

Grammatical notes and relation to related forms: ehitamiseks is a non-finite form and does not inflect for number or case on its own; agreement is expressed through the surrounding words in the phrase. It is distinct from the noun ehitamine (construction) and from the genitive form ehitamise (of construction), which are used in different grammatical contexts. The term is commonly found in technical, architectural, and planning texts to specify items, resources, or actions intended for construction purposes.
