skriinimiseks

Skriinimiseks is Us Estonian, a non-finite form derived from the verb skriinima, meaning to screen. The suffix -miseks marks purpose or intention, so skriinimiseks translates roughly as “for screening” or “to screen.” It is used primarily in formal, bureaucratic language and appears in medical, research, and recruitment contexts to indicate the aim of an action.

In practice, skriinimiseks functions within noun phrases to specify what is being screened or the purpose of the screening activity. It is commonly found in written guidelines, protocols, and project descriptions where the aim is to identify or select a subset of individuals or data. For example, phrases like kandidaatide skriinimiseks (for screening candidates) or meditsiinilise uuringu skriinimiseks (for screening in a medical study) illustrate its use. The construction often accompanies a noun in the genitive or a preceding context that clarifies the object being screened.

Grammatically, skriinimiseks is not a standalone verb form; it is a non-finite form that accompanies nouns to express purpose. It may appear alongside standard capitalization and punctuation in official documents, research protocols, or health program descriptions. Its usage tends to be more common in written material than in casual speech, where more general expressions for screening are often used.

Related terms include skriinimine (the act of screening) and skriinimise (the noun-form indicating the act or process). Together, these forms describe the overall concept of screening, its methods, and its aims within Estonian-language contexts.
