Saavutatavus

Saavutatavus is an Estonian noun describing the state or quality of being attainable or achievable. It is formed from the verb saavutama (to attain, to achieve) with the suffix -tavus, which creates abstract nouns that denote a property or condition.

Etymology and form: The base saavutat- comes from saavutama, and the suffix -tavus attaches to yield a concept similar to “attainability” or “feasibility” in English. The related adjective saavutatav means attainable, while the opposite form is saavutamatu (unattainable).

Usage and meaning: In Estonian, saavutatavus is used to discuss whether a goal, outcome, or requirement can be realistically reached under given constraints such as time, budget, or technology. It functions similarly to the English notions of feasibility or attainability and may appear in planning, project management, engineering, and academic discourse when evaluating prospects or constraints.

Related terms: saavutatav (attainable), saavutamatu (unattainable), saavutamine (the act of attaining), and saavutus (achievement or attainment). In translations, saavutatavus is often rendered as “feasibility,” “attainability,” or “attainable potential,” depending on context.

See also: Feasibility, Attainability, Attainable. Notes: Saavutatavus is a standard Estonian lexical item used to frame evaluations of what can be achieved under practical conditions.
