Müüakse

Müüakse is Estonian for “is for sale” or “to be sold.” It is the present tense passive form of the verb müüa (to sell) and is used to indicate that something is available for purchase. The form is common in classifieds, signs, and headlines where the seller wants to state that an item or property can be bought.

In practice, Müüakse is typically followed by a noun phrase that specifies what is for sale, for example: “Müüakse korter Tartus” (An apartment in Tartu is for sale); “Auto müüakse” (The car is for sale). Often, especially on signs, Müüakse may appear alone as a heading with the item implied by accompanying details. The subject is not specified, and the seller is unknown or unimportant for the statement.

Grammatically, Müüakse is impersonal; it does not name a specific agent. The sentence conveys the selling action in a passive voice without an explicit actor. Related forms include müüa (to sell), müüdud (sold, past participle), and müügikuulutus (advertisement for sale). The noun müük means sale, and müügiks conveys “for sale” in a general sense.

Müüakse is a common feature of Estonian commercial and everyday language, reflecting the language’s flexible use of the passive voice in indicating availability. It contrasts with active constructions such as “ma müün” (I sell) or “te müüte” (you sell).
