kuupäevani

kuupäevani is an Estonian word that translates to "until the date" or "up to the date." It is a compound word formed from "kuu" meaning "month" and "päevani" meaning "until the day." The word is used to specify a deadline or a period of time that extends up to a particular date.

For example, one might say "arve tasumise tähtaeg on 15. kuupäevani" which means "the deadline for payment of the invoice is by the 15th of the month." In this context, "kuupäevani" signifies that the payment must be made on or before that specific date.

The phrase can also be used more generally to indicate a duration. If a project needs to be completed "suvekuupäevani," it implies completion sometime before or on the last day of summer. The exact nuance often depends on the surrounding context and the specific date being referenced.

Understanding "kuupäevani" is helpful for anyone learning Estonian or interacting with Estonian documents and schedules. It clearly demarcates the end point of a given period or obligation.
