filtrimiseks

Filtrimiseks is an Estonian linguistic form derived from the verb filtrima, meaning to filter. It expresses purpose and translates roughly as “for filtration” or “in order to filter.” In technical and scientific texts, filtrimiseks is used to indicate that a material, device, or procedure is intended for a filtration process.

In practice, filtrimiseks appears on product datasheets, labels, and procedural texts to specify suitability for filtration. It may modify nouns to denote that something is designed for filtration—for example, a filter medium or membrane described as suitable filtrimiseks. The term is commonly found in contexts such as water treatment, air filtration, and laboratory filtration, where clear indication of intended use is important for safety, compatibility, and performance.

Linguistic notes and related terms: filtrimiseks is formed from filtrima plus the purpose-infinitive suffix -miseks. This construction is part of a broader Estonian system for indicating purpose in technical language. Related terms include filtratsioon (filtration) and filtreerimine (the act or process of filtering), which appear in similar contexts to describe the phenomenon or method rather than the intended use of a component.

Overall, filtrimiseks functions as a functional designation in Estonian technical vocabulary, signaling that an item or instruction is intended for the filtration stage of a process.
