Juhitavalt

Juhitavalt is a word in Estonian that functions as an adverb meaning “in a guided or directed manner.” It describes actions, processes or behaviours performed under guidance, instruction, or external control. The term is derived from the adjective juhitav (guidable, controllable) and the verb juhitama (to guide or direct), with the adverbial suffix -valt forming a manner adverb.

Usage: It is commonly found in formal, technical, and academic prose to indicate that activities were carried out according to a plan, under supervision, or as part of a controlled protocol. It can appear in descriptions of experiments, manufacturing processes, software operations, or governance procedures.

Examples:

- Eksperimenti viidi läbi juhitavalt, järgides standardset protokolli.

- Süsteem reageeris juhitavalt sisendi muutumisele.

- Protseduurid tuleb läbi viia juhitavalt, et tagada tulemuste võrreldavus.

Notes: Juhitavalt is used to emphasize that a process or action was performed with guidance or control, as opposed to being autonomous or random. Related forms include juhitavus (controllability) and juhitud (guided). The term remains primarily within Estonian-language usage, especially in technical, scientific, and organizational contexts.
