eksperimenteerimaeksperimenterida

Eksperimenteerimaeksperimenterida is a constructed Estonian term that combines two closely related verbs meaning to conduct experiments. It is formed by the verb form eksperimenteerima, meaning to carry out experiments, and the infinitive eksperimenterida, used here in a stylistic reduplication. The resulting neologism is not standard in dictionaries but has appeared in linguistic commentary and science communication as a playful or emphatic way to describe an intensive, iterative research practice.

The purpose of the term is to convey a heightened emphasis on the process of experimentation, often in contexts where researchers repeatedly adjust hypotheses, methods, and analyses based on prior results. The construction demonstrates how Estonian can express emphasis or reflexivity through compounding and reduplication, and it can function as a rhetorical device rather than a formal predicate.

Usage and nuance: The term tends to appear in informal writing, blogs, or discussions of methodology rather than formal academic prose. It may signal meta-experimentation, i.e., experimenting with experimental design itself, or a characterization of a researcher’s approach as driven by repeated trials.

Relation to related terms: It sits near standard terms eksperimenteerima and eksperimenterida and shares their semantic field of conducting experiments. See also eksperiment, iteratiivne disain, teadusmetodoloogia.
