lisamisel

Lisamisel is an Estonian noun form that denotes the act or process of adding something. It is formed from the verb lisama (to add) with the noun-making suffix -mine, and the resulting -misel form expresses the circumstance of an action taking place, often translated as “during the addition” or “in the course of adding.”

In practice, lisamisel is used in technical, scientific, culinary, and procedural contexts to indicate when an addition occurs. The construction typically combines a genitive or accusative noun with lisamisel to specify what is being added, for example, reaktiivide lisamisel (during the addition of reagents) or lahuse lisamisel (during the addition of solution). The form is commonly found in instructions, laboratory notes, recipes, and protocol descriptions, helping to place actions in time relative to the addition step.

Usage notes:

- Lisamisel can be paired with various nouns to describe the addition event, followed by a main clause detailing what should be done or what happens during that step.

- It is often used in a formal or technical register, but can appear in everyday guidance as well.

- Alternatives include lisamise ajal (during the act of adding) or more explicit phrases that name the exact substance being added.

Related terms include lisamine (the act of adding), lisatav (that can be added), and lisatud (added). Lisamisel provides a concise way to reference the addition step within procedural text.
