Kättesaadavast

Kättesaadavast is the elative singular form of the Estonian adjective kättesaadav, meaning available or accessible. It is used to indicate the source or origin of something in a context where the source is object of access, as in phrases that mean from what is available. The form commonly appears before nouns in expressions describing information or resources that can be accessed.

In practical use, kättesaadavast is frequent in formal and technical writing, such as data descriptions, policy documents, academic texts, and information technology contexts. It helps specify that a resource is drawn from materials that are currently accessible or publicly available, distinguishing it from unavailable, restricted, or incomplete sources.

Examples illustrate typical usage. Uurimus põhines kättesaadavast teabest. (The study was based on available information.) Kättesaadavast andmestikust pärinevad tulemused näitavad selgelt trendi. (Results derived from the available dataset clearly show a trend.) Dokument on koostatud kättesaadavast infost. (The document is composed from available information.)

Etymology and grammar: kättesaadavast is formed by attaching the elative case suffix -st to the base adjective kättesaadav. The adjective itself is derived from the concept of accessibility or availability and has related forms such as kättesaadav (base form) and kättesaadavus (availability/noun).
