Käsitsetakse

"Käsitsetakse" is an Estonian verb that translates to "is taken" or "is handled" in English. It is the passive voice form of the verb "käsitleda," which means "to handle" or "to deal with." The verb "käsitsetakse" is used to indicate that an action is being performed on a subject by someone or something else. For example, "See raamat käsitsetakse" translates to "This book is being handled" or "This book is taken care of."

The passive voice is commonly used in Estonian to avoid specifying the agent of the action, focusing instead on the action itself or its result. This can make sentences more concise and direct. For instance, "Käsitsetakse" can be used to describe a situation where someone is taking care of something without specifying who is doing the taking care.

In formal or literary contexts, "käsitsetakse" might be used to convey a sense of impersonal action or to emphasize the result of an action. However, in everyday conversation, the active voice form "käsitleda" is more commonly used. Understanding the passive voice, including the use of "käsitsetakse," is essential for comprehending Estonian grammar and literature.
