tungimine

Tungimine is an Estonian noun meaning the act of pushing, thrusting, or intruding. It is formed from the verb tungima, which means to push or thrust, with the abstract noun suffix -mine. The term is used to describe physical actions that involve applying force to move something or someone into a space, as well as more figurative uses that convey pressure or intrusion.

In everyday language, tungimine can refer to both literal pushing (for example, moving objects or creating space) and the broader sense of forcing entry or presence. Figuratively, the word may describe persistent pressure to achieve an outcome, or an insistence that something be accepted or admitted, though more specialized expressions may be used in such contexts.

In technical or practical discussions, tungimine can denote insertion or penetration processes, such as placing a tool, component, or device into another system or material. The exact meaning in these contexts is often clarified by accompanying terminology that specifies the object being inserted or the nature of the intrusion.

Etymology notes that tungimine derives from tungima, meaning to push or thrust, with the noun-forming suffix -mine. The term is predominantly used in Estonian-language contexts and may appear in both everyday speech and technical writing, depending on the subject matter.
