taotlemiseks

Taotlemiseks is an Estonian non-finite verb form derived from taotlema, meaning to apply or to request. It expresses purpose and is roughly equivalent to “for applying” or “in order to apply.” In administrative and legal writing, taotlemiseks appears in noun phrases and clauses to indicate what is needed to perform an application.

Grammatically, taotlemiseks is formed by adding the purpose-infinitive suffix -miseks to the verb stem taotle-. It frequently accompanies nouns or verbs that name the action of applying, as in taotlemiseks vajalikud dokumendid (documents required for applying) or taotluse esitamiseks (to submit the application).

Common usage notes: taotlemiseks is primarily found in formal contexts—government forms, guidelines, and official notices. In everyday language, speakers more often say taotluse esitamiseks or taotluse tegemiseks.

Related terms include taotlus (an application or request) and taotlemine (the act of applying). The verb taotleda (to apply, to request) is the root of taotlemiseks.
