klassifitseerin

Klassifitseerin is Estonian for the act of classifying or categorizing. The word is a form of the verb klassifitseerima, whose infinitive is klassifitseerida. It is a transitive verb, used with a direct object that denotes what is being classified. The present tense first-person singular form is klassifitseerin, while other forms follow standard Estonian conjugation: klassifitseerid (you classify), klassifitseerib (he/she classifies), klassifitseerime (we classify), klassifitseerite (you all classify), klassifitseerivad (they classify). The noun forms include klassifitseerimine (the act of classifying) and klassifikatsioon (classification).

Etymology and usage notes: the term is a product of Estonian's adaptation of technical vocabulary, drawing on the root concept of classification and incorporating the -eerima/--eer- derivational pattern common in scientific borrowings. It is closely related to the noun klassifikatsioon and the adjective klassifikatiivne (classificatory), though neid forms have separate usage. In practice, klassifitseerin is widely used in academic, scientific, and information-mall contexts, as well as in everyday language when referring to sorting items into categories.

Typical contexts: biology (classifying organisms), data science and machine learning (classifying data or images), library and information sciences (classifying materials), linguistics (analyzing features to classify varieties).
