translation help

[Ultima]

i need little help for translation, because i'am not 100% sure about the meaning:

- jäi kadunuks
- iks (for example: kompül-iks)

thanks

"Jäi kadunuks" means lost in action.

Could you please give me the phrase, where this "iks" is used

[Kuperjanov]

There isn´t a direct translation for "iks". It´s just the end of the Estonian declination. Replies to a question to/for whom. Example: Edutati kompül-iks - was promoted to/for ... Actually it should be kompüliks, but the hyphen is putted there for better reading.

Hope that helps

that helps a lot, thank you
in this connection:

edutati patül-iks
Patül? whats the meaning?

[Kuperjanov]

I suppose it´s shortened from pataljoniülem. Patül - pataljoniülem - chief of the batallion. Kompül - kompaniiülem - chief of the company.
