Raporteeritakse

Raporteeritakse is the present passive form of the Estonian verb raporteerida, meaning to report. It is used to indicate that something is reported, without naming the agent. The form is common in news reports, scientific papers, official communications, and other formal writing.

In Estonian, the passive voice is typically formed with the suffix -takse attached to the verb stem; raporteerida becomes raporteeritakse in the present tense. The tense is present; past or other tenses would use forms such as raporteeriti (it was reported). The subject of raporteeritakse is usually the information or finding rather than the person who reports it.

Examples: Tulemused raporteeritakse ametiasutuste poolt. The results are reported by authorities. Uuringu tulemused raporteeritakse rahvusvahelises teadusajakirjas. The study results are reported in an international scientific journal.

Usage notes: Raporteeritakse is appropriate when the actor is unknown or irrelevant, or when a neutral, objective tone is desired. It is the standard way to present reported information in formal Estonian, including press releases and academic writing.

Related forms: raporteerida (to report); raporteerimine (reporting); raporteeriti (it was reported).
