Korraldatakse

Korraldatakse is an Estonian verb form meaning “is organized” or “is being organized.” It is the present passive form of the verb korraldama, which means “to organize” or “to arrange.” The form is commonly used to describe events, activities, or processes that are organized by an unspecified agent or by people in general, making the actor implicit rather than stated.

Grammatical features: The passive is a widely used mood in Estonian for impersonal or formal statements. Correlated with -da verbs, the present passive takes the ending -datakse, producing korraldatakse from korraldama. The subject of the sentence may be singular or plural, and the agent can be omitted or implied. This flexibility makes the construction common in official notices, announcements, and descriptions of planned actions.

Usage and nuances: Korraldatakse often signals that planning or organizing work is ongoing or scheduled rather than focusing on who does it. It can refer to future events when coupled with time adverbs, for example, “Sündmus korraldatakse järgmisel kuul” (The event will be organized next month). In formal writing, it helps create a neutral, impersonal tone by avoiding explicitly naming organizers.

Examples: Sündmus korraldatakse nädalavahetusel. Uudised teatavad, et konverents korraldatakse järgmisel nädalal.

See also: The related past passive form is korraldatud (was organized, has been organized), and other passive forms like tehtakse (is done) share the same general function of expressing actions without specifying the agent.
