Allalaaditav

Allalaaditav is an Estonian adjective meaning “downloadable.” It is formed from the verb phrase alla laadima (to download) with the participial suffix -tav, indicating potential or capability. The term is used to describe digital content that can be transferred from a remote server to a user’s device over the internet.

In IT and online settings, allalaaditav is commonly applied to files, programs, documents and other media that a user can obtain by clicking a download link. Typical collocations include allalaaditav fail (a downloadable file), allalaaditav pakett (a downloadable package), and allalaaditav sisu (downloadable content). The word emphasizes the action of downloading rather than merely offering the item.

Grammar and inflection follow standard Estonian adjective patterns. Allalaaditav agrees with the noun it modifies: allalaaditav fail (singular, nominative), allalaaditavad failid (plural, nominative), allalaaditava faili (singular, genitive), and so on.

Usage notes: allalaaditav is preferred when the focus is specifically on the item being downloadable rather than on its existence or availability. It is commonly encountered in software distribution, website descriptions, and digital catalogs. While related terms exist (for example, laaditav meaning “loadable” in a broader sense), allalaaditav conveys the internet-specific action of downloading.
