keedituseks

Keedituseks is an Estonian term used to indicate that something is intended for editing or to be edited. It is formed from the verb keeditama (to edit) with the derivational suffix -useks, which conveys purpose or suitability. The phrase functions as a marker of use rather than a description of the final state.

Usage and meaning

Keedituseks denotes that a document, file, template, or other resource is not yet finalized and is meant to undergo editing. It can describe both the intended use and the current state of the item. In practical contexts, you might encounter phrases like keedituseks mõeldud dokument or keedituseks ette nähtud fail, meaning a document or file prepared for editing.

Contexts and style

The expression is common in technical writing, project workflows, and software interfaces where drafts, templates, or editable materials are distinguished from finalized outputs. While redigeerimiseks is a standard alternative for “for editing” in more formal prose, keedituseks is often preferred in labels, notes, and user-facing texts to emphasize the purpose rather than the process itself.

Examples

- Laadi alla keedituseks mõeldud vorm. (Download the form intended for editing.)

- See fail on keedituseks ette nähtud ja ei ole lõplik. (This file is for editing and is not final.)
