läbimiseks

Läbimiseks is Estonian a noun formed from the verb läbima (to pass, to cross). It denotes the act or process of passing through something, crossing from one side to another, or moving through a space, barrier, or system.

Grammatical notes: The suffix -miseks creates an infinitival noun that expresses the purpose or aim of an action, and it is commonly used with a genitive complement to indicate what is being crossed. For example, piiri läbimiseks means “in order to cross the border,” and tee läbimiseks means “for crossing the road.” This form is typically found in phrases describing purpose, method, or feasibility of crossing.

Usage and examples:

- Piiri läbimiseks on vaja kehtivat dokumenti. (To cross the border, a valid document is required.)

- Raja läbimiseks tuleb läbida mitu kontrollpunkti. (To traverse the route, several checkpoints must be passed.)

- Toru läbimiseks pead avama ventiili. (To pass through the pipe, you must open the valve.)

Related terms: Läbimine is the more general noun for the act itself, while läbivus or läbibus refer to the property of passing through or permeation in specific technical contexts. The concept is widely used across domains such as transport planning, border control, construction, and science to describe the act or possibility of moving through a barrier, space, or system.
