Korrastatuna

Korrastatuna is an Estonian participial form derived from the verb korrastama, meaning to correct, repair, or restore. In technical, archival, and publishing contexts, korrastatuna describes something that has undergone correction or restoration and now exists in a corrected or restored state. The form functions as a non-finite passive participle and can appear as a predicative complement or modifier in noun phrases.

Origin and morphology: Korrastatuna combines korrastama with a suffix signaling completed action, aligning with other Estonian participle forms. It is related to korrastatud, but while korrastatud marks a completed corrective action, korrastatuna emphasizes the resulting state after correction.

Usage: Examples include: Andmed on korrastatuna ja valmis kasutamiseks. (The data have been corrected and are ready for use.) Pärast auditit on dokumendid korrastatuna arhiveerimiseks. (After the audit, the documents are corrected for archiving.) In text, korrastatuna may appear as a modifier: korrastatuna versioon (the corrected version).

Context: The term is mostly found in formal writing, technical reports, archival descriptions, and data management contexts. It is less common in everyday speech, where korrastatud or simply parendatud would be more typical.
