Krediteeritud

Krediteeritud is an Estonian term used as a past participle and adjective derived from the verb krediteerima, meaning to credit. The word is commonly found in financial, banking and accounting contexts and indicates that funds, value, or an item have been credited to an account or ledger — that is, entered as a credit entry.

In practice, krediteeritud is used to describe the outcome of a transaction or the status of an amount in financial records. For example, a payment may be described as krediteeritud to a customer’s account, or a revenue item may be krediteeritud to the income account. The term is formal and typical of official documents, statements and bookkeeping software.

Etymology and form: krediteerima is a borrowing related to the concept of credit, and krediteeritud is formed with Estonian verb suffixes to create the past passive participle. The word reflects contemporary Estonian accounting and banking vocabulary and is readily understood by professionals working with financial records.

Usage notes: Krediteeritud is primarily used to denote that something has been recorded as a credit in accounting. While it is a standard term in business contexts, the exact phrasing can vary between organizations and software systems. In general communication, simpler phrases such as “kanded on krediteeritud” or “kreditteeritud summa” may be used depending on the surrounding terminology.
