Saadaolevaid

Saadaolevaid is an Estonian participial adjective formed from the verb saada, meaning to send or to be sent, and the present participle suffix -olev. The compound expresses that something is intended to be sent or capable of being sent. In standard usage, saadaolev or its declined forms are used attributively to describe nouns, for example saadaolevad dokumendid meaning documents that are to be sent or that are ready to be sent.

Grammatically, saadaolev is a non-finite participle that can function like an adjective. The form saadaolevad is the plural modifier used before a plural noun, while singular forms such as saadaolev or saadaolev inimene would describe a single item or person that is to be sent. The construction is common in administrative, logistical, and communications contexts where items, documents, or offers are categorized by their status of needing to be sent.

Usage notes provide that saadaolevaid phrases often occur in lists or clauses that refer to upcoming actions, deadlines, or workflow steps. The phrase translates roughly to “sendable,” “to-be-sent,” or “that can be sent,” depending on the surrounding sentence and noun. While not as frequent as more basic adjectives, saadaolevaid is a standard tool in Estonian for specifying items pending transmission.
