Kokkulepitud

Kokkulepitud is an Estonian adjective meaning "agreed upon" or "settled by mutual agreement." It describes terms, conditions, decisions, or outcomes that have been approved by all involved parties, typically in legal, business, or diplomatic contexts.

Etymology: It derives from the noun kokkulepe (agreement, understanding) and the participial suffix -tud, yielding "kokkulepitud" = "having been agreed."

Usage: In contracts and negotiations, kokkulepitud is used to label provisions that reflect the parties’ consensus. Common phrases include kokkulepitud tingimused (agreed terms), kokkulepitud hinnad (agreed prices), and kokkulepitud lahendus (agreed solution). In narrative or analytical text, it can indicate that a plan or decision has been mutually accepted and is final.

Examples: In a contract, the section may list kokkulepitud tingimused. A court brief might refer to a "kokkulepitud lahendus," meaning an outcome reached by mutual agreement. An explanatory sentence could be: Kõik osapooled sõlmisid kokkulepitud tingimused. (All parties signed the agreed terms.)

Context and nuance: Kokkulepitud emphasizes mutual consent and clarity, reducing ambiguity about what has been accepted. It is common in formal Estonian writing related to negotiations, settlements, and binding agreements, and it contrasts with terms that are not yet agreed or are subject to further discussion.
