Järjestatakse

Järjestatakse is an Estonian verb form meaning “is organized” or “will be organized.” It is the present passive form of the verb järjestama (or järjestada), which means to organize, arrange, or order. This form is used when the agent performing the organizing is unspecified or unimportant, focusing on the event or action itself.

In terms of morphology, the present passive in Estonian is created by adding the suffix -atakse to the verb stem. For järjestada, this yields järjestatakse. The form is finite and used in the present tense, and it can function impersonal or as a third-person singular/plural form depending on the context. The subject is not expressed in the passive construction.

Usage of järjestatakse is common in official announcements, news reports, and procedural or descriptive texts. It allows speakers to indicate that something will occur or has been arranged without naming who will do the arranging. Examples include: Konverents järjestatakse Tallinnas järgmisel nädalal. Festival järjestatakse suve lõpus. These sentences emphasize the event and its timing rather than identifying the organizers.

Distinctions from the active voice are typical: järjestatakse states that something is organized or will be organized, while active forms such as järjestab specify the person or group responsible. The passive form is especially prevalent in formal or impersonal communication, where the focus is on the action or outcome rather than on the agent.
