pikendamisel

Pikendamisel is an Estonian verb that translates to "lengthening," "extending," or "postponing" in English. It describes the action of making something longer in duration or physical extent. This can apply to various contexts, from a physical object being stretched to an event being delayed.

For instance, one might speak of pikendamisel of a rope, meaning to make it longer. In a temporal sense, it could refer to the pikendamisel of a meeting or a deadline, indicating that it has been pushed back or extended. The verb implies an active process of increasing length or duration.

The root word, "pikend," means to lengthen or extend. The "-mise" suffix indicates the process or act of doing so. Therefore, "pikendamisel" specifically refers to the ongoing action of lengthening or extending something. It is a common term used in everyday Estonian conversation and writing.
