elimineerimiseni

Elimineerimiseni is an Estonian linguistic term formed from the noun elineerimine (elimination) and the directional suffix -ni, used to express a limit or endpoint in a process aimed at elimination. It denotes the point at which elimination occurs or the goal state of a process that seeks elimination. The form is part of the system of directional and endpoint expressions in Estonian grammar, where elimineerimine serves as the base and -ni marks the target boundary.

In use, elimineerimiseni is typically employed in technical, scientific, or policy-related contexts to indicate progression toward elimination. It can function as the endpoint complement of verbs such as viia (to bring to), jõuda (to reach), or ulatuda (to extend to). It describes the ultimate aim or limit of actions, plans, or procedures, such as disease control, pest management, environmental cleanup, or other eradication efforts. For example, a sentence might read: Protsessi eesmärk on viia haiguste levik elimineerimiseni (The aim of the process is to bring the spread of disease to elimination).

Morphologically, elimineerimiseni is built from elimineerimise (genitive singular of elimination) plus the suffix -ni, signaling extent or endpoint. It is distinct from the broader noun elamineerimine (elimination) in its role as an endpoint marker rather than a standalone noun.
