tolmeldamises

Tolmeldamises is a term used in Estonian-language bureaucratic and legal writing to denote the process or act of notifying authorities. In English, it is commonly rendered as “the notification process” or “filing notices.” The word is a grammatical form derived from the verb tolmeldama, which means to inform or notify, with tolmeldamise as the noun form and tolmeldamises as the inessive or related case form used in official phrases.

Etymology and form: The base is tolmeldamine, meaning the act of notifying. Adding the suffixes typical of Estonian nominal and case formation yields tolmeldamise (the act of notifying) and tolmeldamises (often interpreted as “in the notification process” or “within notification activities”). The term appears primarily in formal contexts such as regulations, contracts, and administrative guidelines.

Usage: Tolmeldamises is used to describe obligations, procedures, or states associated with notifying authorities. It frequently appears in phrases like tolmeldamises kohustused (obligations to notify), tolmeldamises tähtajad (deadlines for notices), or tolmeldamises teatised (notices within the notification process). In practice, it helps locate requirements within regulatory schemes, such as import/export, licensing, or reporting regimes.

Examples (in English translation, with Estonian usage noted):

- The regulation imposes tolmeldamises obligations on importers.

- Companies must comply with tolmeldamises timelines to avoid penalties.

- The guidelines outline tolmeldamises procedures for submitting required notices to authorities.

Note: Tolmeldamises is an Estonian-language term and is not widely used outside discussions of bureaucratic procedures in that language.
