Kalkuleeritakse

Kalkuleeritakse is an Estonian verb form meaning “it is calculated” or “is being calculated.” It is the present passive form of the verb kalkuleerima (to calculate). In Estonian, the passive voice is commonly used to describe processes where the actor is unknown or irrelevant, making kalkuleeritakse a frequent choice in technical writing, mathematics, statistics and procedural texts.

Grammatical notes: Kalkuleeritakse is a form of the third person singular present passive. The subject is typically omitted, allowing statements about processes or methods without naming who performs the calculation. It can describe generic operations, such as those in manuals, scientific papers or algorithm descriptions.

Morphology: The form is created by adding the passive suffix -takse to the verb stem kalkuleerit-, yielding kalkuleeritakse. This pattern is typical for many Estonian verbs in the present passive.

Usage examples: Antud väärtused sisestatakse süsteemi, ja tulemused kalkuleeritakse kohe. Protsessis järgitakse kindlaid eeskirju, kus väärtused kalkuleeritakse samm-sammult. The phrase is common when outlining steps in equations, data processing, or computational methods.

Relation to kalkuleerima: Kalkuleeritakse is one of several related forms derived from kalkuleerima, which denotes the act of calculating. Other forms include kalkuleerib (active present), kalkuleerija (one who calculates), and kalkulatsioon (calculation).
