Laadatakse

Laadatakse is a word form in Estonian derived from the verb laadima, meaning to load or to charge. In this gloss, laadatakse represents the present passive voice, used for statements where the actor performing the action is unknown or not specified. It translates to English as “is loaded” or “are being loaded,” and can also be used in contexts meaning “is being charged” or “is being uploaded,” depending on the sense of laadima in the sentence.

Grammatically, laadatakse is an impersonal or agentless construction. The subject of the action is not stated, and the emphasis is on the process rather than on who is performing it. This form is common in instructional, logistical, and technical language, where the focus is on the state of objects rather than on the agent.

Usage notes include that the meaning of laadatakse shifts with context: physical loading of goods or equipment, charging of batteries or devices, and in computing contexts the act of uploading or transmitting data. Because Estonian verb forms encode tense and voice rather than subject, the exact time reference (present versus near future) can sometimes depend on accompanying adverbs or sentence context.

Related forms include the active form laadib (present tense, “loads”) and the past passive laeti/laaditi (depending on conjugation and context). The word is part of everyday Estonian and appears in signage, manuals, and news reporting to describe ongoing or general loading/charging actions.
