Laekunud

Laekunud is an Estonian term used as an adjective or past participle derived from the verb laekuma, meaning to arrive, to be deposited, or to be received. The form laekunud roughly translates as “arrived,” “received,” or “deposited,” and it is commonly used to describe things that have already reached a recipient or an account.

In finance and administration, laekunud is widely used to indicate money or documents that have been received. Examples include laekunud makse (payments that have been received), laekunud summa (the amount that has been deposited or credited), or laekunud arve (an invoice that has been received). In accounting software and bank statements, laekunud marks denote entries that have been posted as incoming funds. The term can also appear in legal or governmental contexts to signify that information, notices, or documents have been received by an authority, for example laekunud teatis (a received notice or statement).

Etymology: Laekunud is the past participle of laekuma, itself meaning to arrive, to be deposited, or to be received. The form is used attributively with nouns in Estonian, agreeing in number and case as required.

Notes: While laekunud and related forms are common in Estonian, they are more frequent in formal writing, accounting, and administrative communications than in casual speech. In everyday language, speakers may also use synonymous expressions such as saabunud or kättesaadav, depending on the context.
