Vocab: järeldama - to conclude

---

to conclude; to draw a conclusion based on data, facts, etc.

Building blocks

• järel- → after, based on, following something

• -da- → causative (“make something be X”)

• -ma → infinitive ending

So literally, järeldama means: “to do something based on what came before” → which naturally became to conclude

Important: järeldama is not used in the sense of “to conclude” = “to finish/end something” (that is “lõpetama”)
