struktureerimiseks

Struktureerimiseks is Estonian for a non-finite verb form derived from the verb struktureerida, meaning to structure. It expresses purpose, roughly translating as “for structuring” or “for the purpose of structuring.” The form is created by adding the suffix -miseks to the verb stem (struktureer-), producing a purpose-infinitive that indicates why an action is taken.

In use, struktureerimiseks functions as a non-finite modifier. It appears with a main finite verb: Ta kogus andmeid struktureerimiseks, meaning “He collected data for structuring (the data).” It can also modify nouns in attributive phrases: Struktureerimiseks vajalikud tööriistad, “tools necessary for structuring.” The construction is common in technical, administrative, and academic Estonian, especially when outlining procedures, guidelines, or planned actions.

Etymology and related forms: struktureerida is built from the root structure-related morphemes, with -amiseks forming the infinitive of purpose. This pattern is part of a broader set of Estonian purpose-infinitives, such as kasutamiseks (for use), arendamiseks (for development), or kohandamiseks (for adaptation).

See also: struktureerimine (the process of structuring), struktureerida (to structure). These related terms cover the action itself, the ongoing process, and the purpose-infinitive form exemplified by struktureerimiseks.
