Ostetava

Ostetava is an Estonian term used primarily as a participial adjective derived from the verb ostma, meaning to buy. It translates roughly as “to be bought” or “for purchase” and is used to label goods, assets, or other items that are available for sale. In everyday and commercial language, ostetava helps distinguish items that are offered on the market from those that are not.

In grammar, ostetav is the participle form, and ostetava is an inflected form used to modify a noun in attributive position. This construction appears in commerce and legal language to describe items that are intended to be purchased, rather than already owned or not for sale. The sense conveyed is that the described item is currently offered to buyers.

Usage and examples:

- Ostetava kaup refers to goods that are for sale or available to purchase.

- Ostetava kinnisvara denotes property that is listed as for sale.

- In catalogs or advertisements, ostetava vara or ostetava toode signals that the item can be bought under prevailing terms.

Ostetava thus functions as a practical label within Estonian commercial discourse, helping to categorize inventory, advertisements, and contractual language by indicating purchase availability. See also Estonian language, ostma (to buy), kaup (goods), kinnisvara (real estate), müüa (to sell).
