sidumiseks

Sidumiseks is Estonian a noun-form used to express purpose, meaning “for binding” or “for the purpose of binding.” It is a nominalized infinitive created from the verb siduma (to bind) by adding the suffix -miseks, which is used to form nouns that indicate intended use. The form is invariable in number and is commonly used in technical, industrial, and instructional language to specify what a material, tool, or component is intended for.

In practice, sidumiseks appears in sentences that describe the purpose of an object or material. For example: “See lint on mõeldud sidumiseks” (This tape is intended for binding). Another common pattern is to use sidumiseks with verbs of suitability or necessity, as in “Köis sobib sidumiseks” (The rope is suitable for binding) or in product descriptions and manuals where the intended use is stated.

Grammatically, sidumiseks behaves as a non-finite noun and does not change for number. It often appears with verbs of designation, suitability, or necessity and can function within a noun phrase or as part of a predicate complement. Related terms include siduma (to bind), siduv (binding), and sidumisvahend (binding tool or device).
