Kuulutust

Kuulutust is the inflected form of the Estonian noun kuulutus, which denotes a public notice, announcement, or advertisement intended to inform the public or a specific group. The term is commonly used in formal, administrative, and legal contexts to describe official notices that announce decisions, events, deadlines, or other information that may affect interested parties. Public notices are typically published in newspapers, on government portals, or in the official gazette Riigi Teataja to ensure transparency and to reach those concerned.

Linguistic note: kuulutus is a masculine noun, and kuulutust is the accusative singular (and also the partitive singular in many constructions). Other inflected forms include kuulutuse (genitive singular) and kuulutused (nominative plural). For example, Ma nägin kuulutust means “I saw a notice.” The phrase kuulutuse avaldamine refers to the publication of the notice.

Usage: In Estonian law and administration, kuulutus serves to communicate information to people who may be affected by a decision, such as a court ruling, a tender, or a regulatory change. The notice may specify deadlines, procedures, and rights to participate or appeal. While the exact format can vary, the core purpose remains the same: to inform the public and ensure due process through formal notification.
