Majutavateks

Majutavateks is an Estonian grammatical form that functions as a predicative complement meaning “as accommodations” or “to be used as lodging.” It is the plural translative form of the present active participle majutav, derived from the verb majutama (to accommodate). The translative -teks marks designation as a state or role, indicating that the subject is to be used in the function of lodging.

Usage and context: Majutavateks appears mainly in formal or administrative language, such as architectural plans, procurement documents, or humanitarian planning, where spaces are designated to serve as lodging for people. It denotes that the spaces are intended to function as accommodations rather than for other uses. The form is most common in written planning texts rather than everyday speech.

Examples:

- Need ruumid on kavandatud majutavateks. (These rooms are planned to be used as accommodations.)

- Projekti raames luuakse majutavateks kasutatavaid kohti. (Within the project, spaces are created to be used as lodging.)

Notes: Majutavateks is a form of the verb-derived participle and should be distinguished from related nouns such as majutus (accommodation) and majutaja (innkeeper/host). It is also distinct from other predicative endings that denote different states or roles. In practice, majutavateks is most readily understood as a formal label for spaces or facilities designated to serve as lodging.
