Märkusõnum

Märkusõnum is an Estonian term that translates to "notation message" or "remark message." It refers to a specific type of communication or record-keeping within various Estonian systems, often digital. The core function of a märkusõnum is to convey supplementary information, annotations, or observations that are not part of the primary data or transaction itself.

These messages are commonly used in administrative, legal, and financial contexts. For example, in a court case, a märkusõnum might be an additional note from a judge or clerk regarding a specific document or procedural step. In banking, it could be a comment attached to a transaction for internal reference or for the customer's understanding. Similarly, in governmental databases, a märkusõnum might provide context or clarification for a particular entry.

The purpose of a märkusõnum is to enhance the clarity and completeness of information. It allows for the inclusion of details that might otherwise be lost or difficult to incorporate into standard fields. These messages are generally intended for internal use or for specific parties involved in a process, rather than for broad public dissemination. The content and format of a märkusõnum can vary depending on the system in which it is used, but its fundamental role remains that of adding descriptive or explanatory remarks.
