Seisukorda

Seisukorda is an Estonian noun that denotes the current state or condition of something. It is used to describe how a person, object, place, or system is functioning or standing at a given time, with emphasis on its physical condition, operability, or readiness. The term appears in everyday language as well as in technical, administrative, and reporting contexts, such as road conditions, equipment status, or facility upkeep.

The word is formed from the root related to standing or being in a certain state, and the suffix that conveys a state or condition. It is commonly used with nouns like tee (road) to form expressions such as tee seisukord (road condition) or with machinery and infrastructure to indicate current operability or state of repair. Seisukorda is related to other Estonian terms such as seisund (state/condition) and olukord (situation), but seisu kord tends to emphasize the material or functional condition of an object rather than broader circumstances.

Usage notes: in official and semi-official contexts, seisukord is frequently used in reports, maintenance schedules, and inspections to communicate whether something is fit for use, requires repair, or should be taken out of service. It is a practical term across fields such as transportation, construction, and facilities management, where understanding the present condition of assets is essential. See also: seisund, olukord.
