Rõhutataks

Rõhutataks is an Estonian verb form that translates roughly as "would be emphasized" in English. It is derived from the verb rõhutama, meaning "to emphasize" or "to stress." Rõhutataks is the passive, conditional form, used to discuss what would be emphasized under certain conditions or in hypothetical scenarios. In formal or analytical prose, it can appear in statements about expected emphasis or highlighted aspects.

Morphology and usage: The base is rõhut- from rõhutama. The ending -ataks marks the conditional mood, and the -takse pattern marks passive voice, resulting in rõhutataks. The form does not carry an explicit subject; the surrounding sentence indicates who would emphasize what. It is more common in written, formal, or analytical registers than in casual speech.

Examples: Artikli lõpus rõhutataks peamised järeldused. (At the end of the article, the main conclusions would be emphasized.) Kui see uuring kinnitaks eeldused, rõhutataks vajadus täiendavate andmete järele. (If this study confirms the assumptions, the need for additional data would be emphasized.)
