Remonditav

Remonditav is an Estonian adjective meaning able to be repaired or renovated. It describes objects, components or systems for which repair, refurbishment, or restoration is feasible. The form is built from the root remond- meaning repair, plus the suffix -itav, which marks potential or capability. The corresponding noun is remonditavus, used in more technical or planning contexts to denote repairability, though in everyday language parandatav or parandatavus is often preferred.

In practice, remonditav is common in technical, industrial, architectural and maintenance discourse. It is used to distinguish items that can be repaired or refurbished from those that are not easily or economically repairable. For example, one might refer to a remonditav masin (a machine that can be repaired) or a remonditav ehitis (a building with repairable components). The term is frequently encountered in product design, durability assessments, maintenance planning and standards documentation.

Usage notes: remonditav emphasizes the feasibility of repairing within a given context, whereas mitte-remonditav or parandamatu are used to describe non-repairable or irreparable status. The word is more common in technical registers than in casual speech, where simpler expressions such as parandatav or remonditavus may be used depending on the audience.

Etymology and related terms: remonditav is formed from remond- (repair) with the -itav suffix. Related terms include remond, remont and parandatav, which cover the broader notions of repair, renovation and repairability in Estonian.
