krimpeeritakse
Krimpeeritakse is a term found in Estonian-language discourse, mainly in informal writing, media commentaries, and online discussions. It is the passive present tense form of the verb krimpeerima, a colloquial neologism used to convey the idea of designating, labeling, or treating an action as a crime. The form and meaning are context-dependent, and krimpeeritakse is not part of standard, dictionary-listed Estonian. In formal language, speakers would typically use kriminaliseeritakse (to be criminalized) or express the idea with other phrasings such as “käsitletakse kui kuritegu.”
Etymology and usage notes: Krimpeerima appears to be a contemporary, informal creation rather than a long-established
Register and interpretation: Because krimpeeritakse carries a colloquial tone, it can signal irony, critique, or emphasis.
See also: kriminaliseerimine, kriminaliseerimine (to criminalize), kuritegevus, õigus- ja seadusloomine.
