esitamamiseks

Esitamiseks is a grammatical form in Estonian derived from the verb esitada (to present, to submit). It functions as a purpose infinitive, used to express the aim or purpose of an action, and translates roughly as “for presenting” or “in order to present/submit.” The form is commonly found in administrative and formal language.

The canonical form esitamiseks is created with the suffix -miseks, which marks the infinitive as one of purpose. It is typically used within noun phrases or with verbs to indicate what is being done for that purpose. For example, in phrases like esitamiseks vajalikud dokumendid, the meaning is “documents necessary for submission/presentation.” The construction does not denote a standalone action by itself; rather, it describes the purpose of another action or the required condition for a task.

A closely related form is esitamaks, the -maks form, which behaves as a purpose infinitive in verb phrases. It is used before a main verb to express purpose, similar to “in order to submit” in English. For instance, Taotluse esitamaks tuleb vorm täita means “In order to submit the application, the form must be filled out.” Both esitamiseks and esitamaks are common in official documents, forms, and procedural texts.

Usage notes:

- Esitamiseks is typically part of noun phrases that modify nouns or describe requirements (e.g., esitamiseks vajalikud dokumendid).

- Esitamaks occurs in clauses with a main verb that governs the action needed to achieve the purpose.

- These forms are best understood in the context of Estonian non-finite verb forms used to express purpose, rather than as independent verbs.

In summary, esitamiseks and esitamaks are purpose-related non-finite forms built from esitada/esitama, used to indicate actions undertaken for the purpose of presenting or submitting something.
