Integreerunud

Integreerunud is Estonian an adjective and past participle meaning "having become integrated" or "well integrated." It is formed from the verb integreeruma (to integrate) with the suffix -unud, which marks a completed state. The word is used to describe something that has merged into a larger system, group, or environment.

In usage, integreerunud is commonly applied to people and contextually to social processes. A person can be integreerunud if they have adopted the local language, norms, institutions and actively participate in civic life. It is frequently discussed in sociology, immigration and social policy to denote successful integration, as in aligning with cultural practices and social expectations. The term can also refer to organizations, communities or technologies that have been merged with others to function as a cohesive whole.

Related terms include integreerimine (the process of integrating) and integreatsioon or integratsioon (integration as a concept or policy). Another related adjective is integreeritud, which means "integrated" in a more static or completed sense when used attributively. The choice between integreerunud and integreeritud can depend on emphasis on the process versus the finished state.
