Sisseehitatud

Sisseehitatud is an Estonian adjective meaning built-in or integrated into a product or system. It refers to features, components, or capabilities that are included as an inherent part of something, rather than being external add-ons or detachable modules. For example, a phone with a sisseehitatud camera has the camera fixed inside the device, and a laptop with sisseehitatud storage has built-in solid-state memory.

In software and electronics, the term is used to describe elements permanently included in a system, such as sisseehitatud funktsioonid (built-in functions) or sisseehitatud sensorid (built-in sensors).

Etymology: the word is formed from the preposition sisse meaning into and ehitatud, the past participle of ehitama meaning to build. It is widely used in technical, consumer electronics, automotive, and information technology contexts. There is some overlap with the synonym integreeritud, which emphasizes integration rather than physical inclusion.

Notes on usage: sisseehitatud typically conveys that a feature is a fixed, original part of the device or system, as opposed to an external accessory. In English, built-in or embedded are common equivalents, but the Estonian term is preferred in technical and product descriptions within Estonian discourse.
