Kasututakse

Kasututakse is not a standard Estonian word or verb form. In standard Estonian, the present passive of the verb kasutama (to use) is kasutatakse, meaning “is used” or “are used.” The form kasututakse would be considered nonstandard and is not recognized in official orthography or grammar references.

From a morphological perspective, Estonian present passive typically uses the suffix -takse after the verb stem (for example, kasut- -> kasutatakse). The hypothetical kasututakse would require an extra consonant insertion that does not align with standard phonotactics or orthographic rules. As a result, kasututakse is generally viewed as a misspelling, a typographical error, or a nonstandard variant rather than a valid grammatical form.

Usage and occurrences: Kasututakse is sometimes seen in informal writing, typographical mistakes, or OCR (optical character recognition) errors when copying text that intended to read kasutatakse. It is not documented as a mainstream dialectal form or accepted variant in reputable Estonian linguistic references.

Examples:

- Correct: Vahendit kasutatakse laialdaselt. (“The instrument is used widely.”)

- Nonstandard/mistaken: Vahendit kasututakse laialdaselt.
