intervjuudeks

Intervjuudeks is an Estonian translative plural form of the noun intervjuu (interview). It is used to express a change of state or a specific purpose related to interviews, typically meaning “for interviews” or “into interviews” depending on the context. The form appears in formal writing and in contexts such as recruitment, media work, and research where discussions or data collection through interviews are planned or underway.

Formation and usage: The base noun intervjuu has the plural nominative form intervjuud. The translative plural form intervjuudeks is created by adding the suffix -eks to the plural stem, signaling a transition or a purpose. For example, phrases such as valmis intervjuudeks (ready for interviews) or intervjuudeks sobiv (suitable for interviews) illustrate its function. In everyday language, singular translative forms such as intervjuuks (for an interview) may appear, but intervjuudeks is used when referring to multiple interviews or a general state related to interviewing.

Context and meaning: Intervjuudeks commonly appears in sentences describing preparation for or participation in interviews. It is especially common in recruitment materials, media briefs, academic studies, and other formal documents that discuss the process of conducting interviews, scheduling interviews, or preparing candidates for interview rounds.
