Activeeritav

Activeeritav is an Estonian adjective meaning capable of being activated or renderable active. It is formed from the verb aktiveerima (to activate) with the participial suffix -dav, and is used to describe objects, systems, or substances that require a triggering action or condition to enter an active state.

In technical and scientific writing, activeeritav is used across diverse fields such as electronics, pharmacology, software, and materials science. It designates items that do not function in their active form until something—a signal, stimulus, license, or metabolic process—activates them. The term helps distinguish between components that are ready to operate and those that need activation.

Common usage patterns include phrases like activeeritav komponent, activeeritav mehhanism, or activeeritav omadus. In practice, a sensor with a wake-up trigger may be described as activeeritav upon receiving the appropriate signal; certain drugs are considered activeeritav after activation processes in the body; software features may be activeeritav after a user completes a required step.

Linguistically, activeeritav is primarily used in formal or technical registers. In everyday language, speakers may prefer simpler expressions such as “võib aktiveeruda” or “on aktiveeritav,” depending on the context. The term is closely related to aktivaatsioon (activation) and aktiveerimine (activation process).
