tulemise

Tulemise is an Estonian noun meaning the act of coming or arrival. It is a deverbal noun formed from the verb tulema, meaning to come, with the nominalizing suffix -mine. The base form tulemine denotes the act itself, while tulemise is its genitive singular form, used to build noun phrases and express possession or association, for example in tulemise aeg ('the time of the coming').

Tulemise is primarily found in written or formal Estonian when a noun phrase requires a dependent noun with genitive modification. It is not a separate semantic concept but a grammatical form of the common deverbal noun tulemine. It can refer to the coming of a person, event, or phenomenon, depending on context; the exact sense is determined by its modifiers and the surrounding sentence.

Etymology: from the verb tulema, with the suffix -mine forming an abstract noun; this pattern is common in Estonian to derive nouns describing events or processes (for example jõudmine, tulemine). See also: Estonian grammar, deverbal noun.
