Loetletud

Loetletud is Estonian for the past passive participle of the verb loetlema, meaning to list or enumerate. In use, loetletud describes items or elements that have already been included in a list, index, or catalog. It is often translated as “listed” or “enumerated” in English.

Etymology and form: The root loetle- comes from loetlema, with the suffix -dud forming the past passive participle. This creates a qualifying adjective that refers to something that has undergone the action of listing. The same participle can appear in attributive position before a noun (loetletud punktid) or predicatively in a sentence (Need punktid on loetletud).

Usage: Loetletud is common in formal, administrative, and legal language where items are specifically identified as having been enumerated. It functions as an adjective and agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case. It is distinct from related forms such as loetud (read) or loetu (a thing read); loetletud specifically indicates incorporation into a list.

Examples:

- Loetletud punktid tuleb läbi vaadata. (The listed points must be reviewed.)

- Loetletud isikud osalesid konverentsil. (The individuals listed participated in the conference.)

Notes: In everyday speech, other expressions may convey similar ideas, but loetletud remains a standard term in official documents and reports. Related terms include loetlemine (the act of listing) and loetlema (to list).
