Kooditud

Kooditud is a Estonian adjective meaning encoded or coded, used to describe information that has been transformed by applying a code or encoding scheme. It is the past passive participle of the verb koodida and is commonly found in technical, data-processing, and linguistic contexts to indicate content that has been prepared for storage, transmission, or interpretation.

Etymology and form: The word is derived from the verb koodida (to code) with the suffix -itud, a productive way in Estonian to form past participles that function as adjectives. As an attributive and predicative modifier, kooditud agrees with the noun in number and case.

Usage: Kooditud describes nouns that have undergone encoding. It is used in technical writing and documentation to distinguish encoded content from raw or plain content. Typical phrases include kooditud andmed, kooditud tekst, and kooditud sõnum. In computing contexts, kooditud data may refer to data encoded for transport or storage, while alternative terms like kodeeritud or krüpteeritud are used for different nuances of encoding or encryption.

Variants and related terms: Kooditud coexists with related forms such as kodeeritud (encoded) and krüpteeritud (encrypted), each conveying slightly different emphasis. The choice between them depends on whether the focus is on general encoding, a specific coding scheme, or cryptographic protection.

Examples: Examples include "Fail on kooditud Base64-iga" and "Kooditud andmed tuleb enne analüüsi dekrüpteerida." Kooditud is thus a concise, neutral descriptor for content that has been processed by applying a code.
