redigeerimiseks

Redigeerimiseks is the Estonian form that expresses the purpose of editing, roughly translating to “for editing.” It is derived from the verb redigeerima (to edit) and is used as a non-finite verbal form that functions like a noun phrase indicating intent. In sentences it helps specify what an action is intended for, for example, See dokument on mõeldud redigeerimiseks (“This document is intended for editing”).

Morphology and formation: Redigeerimiseks is formed by taking the infinitive redigeerima and adding the suffix -miseks, which marks purpose rather than tense or mood. It does not inflect for person or number. It belongs to a common Estonian pattern where verbs take -miseks to form purpose expressions, alongside other examples such as kirjutamiseks (for writing) and lugemiseks (for reading). These forms are widely used in instructional and technical texts.

Usage and contexts: Redigeerimiseks appears in manuals, interfaces, and templates to clarify the intended action. It often occurs in combination with nouns or within sentences that state the goal of an activity. For instance, a notice might say that a feature is “mõeldud redigeerimiseks” (intended for editing) to distinguish it from other functions. The form is part of everyday Estonian in settings where precise purpose needs to be stated, such as documentation, software help pages, and workflow descriptions.
