laadimise

Laadimise is the genitive form of the Estonian noun laadimine, which denotes the act or process of charging a battery or device, as well as the process of loading data or content. The word comes from the verb laadima, meaning “to load” or “to charge,” with the nominalizing suffix -mine; the genitive ending -mise marks “of charging” or is used in various compound expressions.

In energy and electrical contexts, laadimine refers specifically to the process of supplying energy to a battery or accumulator from a power source. Common phrases include laadimise aeg (charging time), laadimise kiirus or laadimiskiirus (charging speed), and a charger is called laadija. A charging point or station can be described with terms such as laadimispunkt or laadimisjaam.

In computing and information technology, laadimine also denotes loading operations, such as veebilehe laadimine (loading of a web page) or andmete laadimine (loading of data). The genitive form laadimise appears in phrases like laadimise kiirus (loading speed) or laadimise ajal (during loading).

Grammatical notes: laadimise is the singular genitive form used to modify other nouns or to form noun phrases, while laadimine itself functions as a base noun meaning “charging” or “loading.” The term is widely used in everyday Estonian to describe both hardware-related charging processes and software or data loading tasks.
