Jagatud

Jagatud is an Estonian word that functions as a past passive participle and an adjective derived from the verb jagama, meaning to share or to divide. It is used to describe something that has been made accessible to others or allocated among recipients. In everyday language, jagatud can appear in phrases such as jagatud fail (a shared file) or jagatud ressursid (shared resources). In predicative use, one can say See on jagatud (It is shared).

Etymology and morphology: Jagatud is formed with the participial suffix -tud and agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case. For example, jagatud failid (shared files) uses the plural form. The word often appears in digital and collaborative contexts to indicate that access to an item has been granted to multiple users rather than to one.

Usage notes: Jagatud is common in technology, cloud storage, and collaborative work environments to denote items that multiple participants can access or edit. It can carry a nuance of communal access or mutual sharing. A closely related form, jaotatud, means distributed or apportioned and highlights allocation or division rather than collaborative access; the two terms are not always interchangeable and are chosen according to nuance.
