Saavutatav

Saavutatav is an Estonian adjective meaning able to be achieved or attainable. It describes goals, outcomes, or conditions that can realistically be reached under given constraints such as time, budget, or technology.

The term is widely used in planning, management, education, and science to express feasibility. Saying that a target is saavutatav helps set realistic expectations, guide resource allocation, and support decision-making. It often appears in strategic documents, project plans, and performance reviews to distinguish feasible ambitions from aspirational but impractical aims.

Morphology and usage notes: saavutatav is formed from the verb meaning to achieve, with a participial suffix that conveys feasibility or potential. It is commonly used with nouns like eesmärk (goal) or tulemus (outcome), as in saavutav eesmärk or saavutatav tulemus. The word carries a neutral, descriptive tone and does not imply certainty beyond the stated constraints.

Related terms include saavutus (an achievement) and, in broader discussions of feasibility, synonyms such as realistlik (realistic) or teostatav (feasible). In practice, saavutatav emphasizes what can be realistically attained given current resources and conditions.
