Avaldavad

Avaldavad is the Estonian present tense, third-person plural form of the verb avaldama. The base meaning of avaldama is to publish, to announce, to reveal, or to declare. In usage, avaldavad is used when a plural subject—such as media outlets, organizations, or public authorities—publishes something, for example news items, statements, or documents.

In journalism and public communications, avaldavad appears frequently to describe actions by multiple actors. For instance, a news outlet or several outlets may publish articles, while organizations may issue or publish reports or statements. Common contexts include publishing news, press releases, or official documents. Example sentences include: “Need väljaanded avaldavad artikleid iga nädal.” and “Valitsus avaldab pressiteateid.” These illustrate how the form connects a plural subject with a published item.

Related forms and etymology: avaldama is a regular Estonian verb built on the root aval-, linked to the concept of publicness (as in avalik, public). The related noun avalik is used to describe things of public nature, and verbs like avalikustama (to disclose publicly) share the same semantic sphere. Avaldavad thus represents the natural plural present tense in a family of verbs used to express publication, announcement, and disclosure in Estonian.
