kasvatamiseks

Kasvatamiseks is Estonian a grammatical form that expresses purpose, roughly translating to “for cultivation” or “for upbringing.” It is used to indicate the intended use or function of something. The form is derived from the concept of kasvatus (cultivation, upbringing) and uses the suffix -miseks to mark purpose in Estonian.

In usage, kasvatamiseks appears in phrases that specify what a resource, measure, or action is intended for. Examples include laste kasvatamiseks (for the upbringing of children) and kasvatamiseks vajalikud vahendid (resources necessary for cultivation/upbringing). In agricultural or horticultural contexts, it can refer to conditions, tools, or methods designed for growing plants or breeding animals, such as kasvatamiseks vajalik tehnika (equipment for cultivation). In educational or social contexts, it expresses aims related to the upbringing or development of people.

Grammar notes: Kasvatamiseks functions as a purpose adjunct and does not by itself denote that an action is occurring; it signals for what purpose the referenced item is used. It can be combined with other modifiers, for example kasvatamiseks mõeldud (intended for cultivation/upbringing) or kasvatamiseks sobivaid vahendeid (tools suitable for cultivation).

Related terms include kasvatus (cultivation, upbringing), kasvatamine (the act of growing or raising), and kasvataja (a feeder, raiser, or educator). The exact English rendering of kasvatamiseks depends on context, and it may be translated as “for cultivation” or “for upbringing.”
