Auavaldus

Auavaldus is not a standard term in modern Estonian. It does not appear in common dictionaries and is rarely attested in official usage. In most authoritative sources, the closest and correctly attested forms are avaldus and avaldus, which cover related but distinct meanings. If a text presents the word auavaldus, it is typically a misspelling, a typographical error, or a nonstandard/rare form rather than a defined linguistic term.

The noun avaldus refers to a formal request, petition, or declaration addressed to an authority or institution. It is used in administrative contexts, such as applying for a permit, benefit, or job, and in legal or governmental procedures. The genitive form is avalduse, as in “avalduse esitamine” (the submission of an application). The related verb form is avaldama, meaning to publish, disclose, or state publicly, depending on context, with noun forms derived from the same root.

The noun avaldus, on the other hand, is encountered in contexts related to publication or public announcements and can appear in media or official notices. Its meanings overlap with “publication” or “notice,” though usage varies by register and region.

In practice, readers encountering auavaldus should consider whether the intended word is avaldus/avalduse (a request) or avaldus (a publication/notice). Correcting the form ensures alignment with standard Estonian orthography and usage. See also avaldus, avalduse, avaldus, and taotlus for related administrative terms.
