Identifitseeritavate

Identifitseeritavate is an Estonian attributive form meaning “identifiable” or “that can be identified.” It is the genitive plural form of the participial adjective identifitseeritav, which comes from the verb identifitseerida (to identify). The word is used to describe nouns that are in a genitive plural construction, typically in formal or technical contexts.

In Estonian, when an attributive adjective modifies a plural noun in the genitive case, both the adjective and the noun take genitive plural endings. Therefore identifitseeritavate appears before a genitive plural noun, for example identifitseeritavate isikute (identifiable persons) or identifitseeritavate asjade (identifiable things). This pattern is common in legal, privacy, or data-technology language, where precise distinctions about identifiability are important.

Usage notes:

- Common collocations include phrases like identifitseeritavate isikute andmed (data of identifiable persons) or identifitseeritavate andmete töötlemine (processing of identifiable data).

- The term does not denote a separate concept on its own; it is a grammatical form that jointly conveys identifiability within a noun phrase.
