sujumiseks

Sujumiseks is an Estonian term used to indicate the intended use or purpose of an object or activity, specifically related to diving or underwater activities. In English, it corresponds to the phrase “for diving” or “intended for diving.” The word signals that a product, instruction, or plan is suitable for diving tasks or environments.

Morphology and usage are straightforward: sujumiseks is formed by adding the suffix -miseks to a verb stem to express purpose. In practice, it is used with nouns to specify what something is meant for. For example, a diving mask can be described as sujumiseks mõeldud mask, meaning a mask intended for diving. Similarly, sujumiseks kirjeldatud varustus would refer to equipment designated for diving.

Common domains for the term include product labeling, manuals, travel itineraries, and sports or training contexts. It appears in catalogs and safety sheets to help consumers quickly identify items appropriate for underwater activities. The construction is not mandatory in all contexts; speakers may also use alternatives such as sõnastused like “uimumiseks/ sukeldumiseks mõeldud” depending on style and register.

In practice, sujumiseks helps distinguish specialized gear and plans from general-purpose items. It supports clear communication in Estonian-speaking diving communities, retailers, and instructional settings, contributing to safety and proper use by highlighting the intended function of equipment and procedures. As with any domain-specific terminology, awareness of regional preferences and audience expectations influences how prominently sujumiseks is used in labeling and text.
