Simplifitseerub

Simplifitseerub is an Estonian verb form used to express that something becomes simplified or is in the process of being simplified. It functions as the present tense, third-person singular form in the passive voice and denotes a transformation of the subject toward a simpler state.

Morphology and usage are standard within Estonian verb conjugation. The form is built from the stem simplifitseer- with the ending -ub, indicating that the subject undergoes the action rather than performing it. In practice, simplifitseerub appears in technical, editorial, and academic contexts to describe processes that reduce complexity, remove redundancy, or streamline procedures. It is commonly paired with nouns such as protsess, dokument, or kood to discuss how these items become simpler.

Examples of usage include sentences like: Protsess simplifitseerub järk-järgult, kui liigsed sammud kõrvaldatakse. This indicates a gradual simplification as unnecessary steps are eliminated. In everyday or more neutral prose, speakers might opt for easier phrasing such as lihtsustub or lihtsustamine, depending on style guides and emphasis.

Related terms include the base verb simplifitseerida (to simplify) and the noun lihtsustamine (the act of simplifying). Simplifitseerub is part of a productive Estonian pattern that forms passive present-tense expressions from verb stems, aligning with similar constructions in scientific and administrative language.
