Korrutatud

Korrutatud is the Estonian past passive participle of the verb korrutada, meaning to multiply. It is used to describe something that has been produced by multiplication or to modify a noun in a noun phrase. In grammar it behaves as an adjective, agreeing with the noun in number, case, and declension.

In mathematics and everyday language, korrutatud denotes a product or a result of multiplication. It can be used in phrases such as a korrutatud b-ga to indicate the product of a and b, and in noun phrases like korrutatud väärtus (the multiplied value) or korrutatud tulemus (the result of multiplication). The exact form changes with Estonian case endings, so you may encounter korrutatud arvu (genitive singular) or korrutatud arv (nominative singular), among others.

Common usage examples include: "Kolm korrutatud kahega on kuus." (Three multiplied by two equals six.) "See arv on korrutatud neljaga." (This number has been multiplied by four.) "Korrutatud tulemuse väärtus sõltub algväärtustest." (The value of the multiplied result depends on the initial values.)

Etymology traces korrutatud to the verb korrutada, meaning to multiply; korrutatud serves as its past participle form conveying a completed multiplication. Beyond mathematics, korrutatud appears in technical or analytical prose to describe results of multiplicative operations.
