Numeeritud

Numeeritud is Estonian for “numbered” or “enumerated.” It is an adjective and the past passive participle of the verb numeerima, which means “to number.” The word describes items that have been assigned numerical labels for reference, ordering, or indexing. Numeeritud is common in technical, academic, and administrative writing, where lists, sections, figures, or pages are labeled with numbers.

In usage, numeeritud constructions appear with a noun and agree in number and case, for example: numeeritud nimekiri (a numbered list), numeeritud peatükid (numbered chapters), numeeritud leheküljed (numbered pages). The term helps distinguish items that have explicit numerical identifiers from those that are merely presented in a sequence.

Etymology and forms: numeeritud is formed from the verb numeerima, which conveys the act of numbering. The form functions as a past passive participle and agrees with the noun it modifies. The root reflects the concept of numbers, with the suffix -dud marking the participial form.

Usage notes: Numeeritud should not be confused with nimetatud or nimetatud (named) in sense of designation by a name rather than a number. In documentation, software, and data contexts, numeeritud emphasizes explicit numerical sequencing or labeling rather than mere ordering.
