kõigiks

Kõigiks is a term of Estonian origin, primarily used in legal and social contexts to refer to a completed or finalized state of an object, agreement, or obligation. Derived from the Estonian verb “kõigida,” meaning to make perfect or complete, the noun form signifies the resultant state of being entirely or fully formed. In everyday speech, the term is often paired with nouns to emphasize completeness, such as “kõigiks valmistatud” (completely prepared) or “kõigiks lõpetatud” (completely finished).

In Estonian law, “kõigiks” can denote the finality of a legal procedure. For example, once a court’s decision has been fully executed and all appeals exhausted, the judgment may be described as “kõigiks jõudnud” (having reached its final, enforceable state). Similarly, contractual language may employ the phrase to confirm that all terms have been satisfied and the agreement is solidified.

The expression appears in cultural contexts where emphasis on thoroughness or completeness is valued. In literature, the word may be used metaphorically to describe a character’s journey or an event that has reached its ultimate conclusion. In administrative documents, “kõigiks” often precedes the conclusion of a filing period or confirmation of assets, underscoring that no further action is required.

While the word is specific to Estonian, equivalents exist in other Finno-Ugric languages, with similar constructions denoting the completion of tasks or transformations. The nuance of “kõigiks” lies in its functional quality: it highlights not only the act of completion but also the desirability of being fully instituted or finalized within the relevant context.
