Edastatava

Edastatava is an Estonian grammatical form rather than a separate concept. It is the genitive singular form of the adjective edastatav, which means broadcastable or transmittable. The adjective edastatav is derived from the verb edastama (to broadcast or transmit) with the suffix -atav that marks capability or possibility, yielding “broadcastable.”

In usage, edastatava appears in phrases where the noun it modifies is in the genitive case. For example, edastatava sisu means “of broadcastable content.” The form helps express ownership or specification within a sentence, such as describing the quality or suitability of material for broadcasting.

Etymology and formation: edastatav combines edastama with the -atav suffix to form an adjective meaning capable of being broadcast. The inflected form edastatava is then used as the genitive singular of edastatav.

Contexts and examples: The term commonly appears in media, telecommunications, and content licensing contexts to denote materials that meet broadcasting requirements. Examples include references to edastatava sisu (broadcastable content) or edastatava signaali (broadcastable signal). As with other Estonian adjectives, its exact form changes with the noun it accompanies and the syntactic case.
