protsessideks

Protsessideks is an Estonian grammatical form derived from the noun protsess (process). It represents the translative case in its plural form, typically conveying a change of state or designation, roughly translating to “into processes” or “as processes” in English. The form is used to indicate that something is being transformed into processes or designated as processes, depending on the surrounding verb or construction.

In practice, protsessideks appears in technical and organizational writing when describing workflow segmentation, process design, or the allocation of activities to processes. Because it is a case form rather than a standalone lexical item, its precise meaning is determined by the governing verb or preposition. For example, phrases such as tegevsused jaotatakse protsessideks (the activities are divided into processes) illustrate its use to express division or designation.

Morphology and function: protsessideks is formed from protsess with the translative plural suffix -ideks. It functions to express a change of state or a designation toward a new category, namely processes. The nuance may vary with context, including whether the emphasis is on transformation, allocation, or designation.
