püüdmisel

Püüdmisel is an Estonian word that translates to "in the act of catching" or "while catching." It is a grammatical form used in Estonian to indicate that an action is happening concurrently with the act of catching something. This can refer to catching a physical object, such as a ball, or a more abstract concept, like catching a disease or catching someone's attention. The genitive case ending "-l" combined with the present active participle of the verb "püüda" (to catch) forms this specific construction. For example, "kala püüdmisel" means "while fishing" or "in the act of catching fish." The context in which "püüdmisel" is used will determine the precise meaning, but it always implies a simultaneous action occurring during the process of capture. It is a common and versatile linguistic tool in the Estonian language for describing dynamic situations.
