sujuvuseks

Sujuvuseks is a term in Estonian grammar and language education. It represents the translative form of the noun sujuvus, which means fluency or smoothness. The word literally conveys “into fluency” or “for fluency,” and it is used to indicate a goal or target state of an action.

Morphologically, sujuvuseks is formed from the abstract noun sujuvus by adding the translative suffix -eks. The translative case in Estonian often expresses changes of state, progression toward a state, or the purpose of an action. In this sense, sujuvuseks marks fluency as the intended result or aim of practice, instruction, or evaluation.

In usage, sujuvuseks appears primarily in linguistic descriptions, grammar explanations, and language-teaching texts rather than in everyday conversation. It is a specialized form used to discuss goals such as achieving fluency in speaking or in a specific communicative context. It is closely related to the noun sujuvus (fluency) and to other translative forms derived from adjectives or nouns that describe states or outcomes.

The term is part of a broader Estonian nominal and translative paradigm where related forms denote processes, goals, or states toward which actions are directed. While not common in casual speech, sujuvuseks is a useful label for describing the aim of exercises, curricula, or assessments designed to produce fluent language use or smooth performance.
