mõõdikuteks

Mõõdikuteks is the translative plural form of mõõdik in Estonian. The base word mõõdik can mean a measuring instrument, such as a gauge or instrument that quantifies a physical quantity, as well as an abstract indicator or metric used to assess performance, quality, or other quantities. The form mõõdikuteks is used in sentences to indicate that something is designated to be used as metrics or indicators.

In mathematics and related sciences, mõõdik (metric) denotes a function that defines distance or similarity between elements in a set. More generally, mõõdik can refer to any quantitative measure or indicator employed to evaluate phenomena, outcomes, or processes. The translative form mõõdikuteks appears in formal or procedural Estonian when listing or assigning quantities that will serve as the metrics for analysis, evaluation, or reporting.

Usage and nuance: mõõdikuteks is a grammatical form used to express “for metrics,” “as metrics,” or “to be treated as metrics.” It is commonly found in technical, statistical, or organizational texts where different indicators are defined, selected, or transformed into standard measures for comparison. As a result, mõõdikuteks functions primarily as a linguistic tool rather than a distinct, independent concept.
