järjestamisel

Järjestamisel is an Estonian noun form that denotes the act or process of organizing, sorting, or arranging. Grammatically, it is the inessive form of the noun järjestamine, used to indicate that the organizing is currently in progress. In practical use, the term appears in administrative, data-management, library-science, and project-planning contexts to describe a phase where items are being classified or prepared.

Usage and meaning

In Estonian sentences, järjestamisel answers questions about state or location of the activity: for example, “Failid on järjestamisel” means “The files are being organized.” The phrase communicates that a workflow or task is underway rather than completed. When translating into English, it is typically rendered as “in the process of organizing” or, more specifically, “in sorting/organizing.”

Etymology and relation to related terms

The word is formed from the noun järjestamine (the act of organizing or arranging) with the appropriate grammatical inflection to express ongoing activity. Related concepts in Estonian include järjestamine itself (the act) and broader notions of organization or ordering, used to describe similar but non-progressive states.
