Aktiivses

Aktiivses is a grammatical form of the Estonian adjective aktiivne, meaning active. It denotes a state of being active and appears primarily in phrases where an adjective modifies a noun to express condition, status, or manner. In standard Estonian usage, aktiivses is often found in dependent phrases that describe the state of a person, object, or process.

The form is most commonly encountered in expressions that describe current activity or functioning. Typical examples include aktiivses kasutuses, meaning in active use, and aktiivses olekus, meaning in an active state. These phrases are common in technical, administrative, and formal prose when a precise status needs to be conveyed.

Aktiivses is not usually treated as a standalone lexical entry in dictionaries; rather, it is an inflected form that arises from the productive system of Estonian adjective declension. It illustrates how adjectives agree with the noun they modify and how various cases and prepositional phrases convey location, state, or condition within a sentence.

In linguistic descriptions of Estonian, aktiivses serves as an illustrative instance of how adjectives form dependent expressions to express state rather than altering the core meaning of the noun. Its usage patterns reflect broader principles of Estonian grammar, including agreement, inflection, and the compilation of descriptive phrases in both everyday and technical contexts.
