Suostunud

"Suostunud" is an Estonian word that translates to "agreed" or "consented" in English. It is the past participle of the verb "suhtuda," which means "to agree" or "to consent." The term is commonly used in formal and legal contexts to indicate that a person or entity has given their approval or acceptance to a particular proposal, agreement, or condition.

In Estonian legal and administrative procedures, "suostunud" is often used to signify that an individual has voluntarily agreed to a specific action or decision. For example, a person might "suostunud" to sign a contract, indicating that they have willingly accepted the terms and conditions outlined therein.

The use of "suostunud" emphasizes the voluntary nature of the agreement, distinguishing it from situations where consent may be coerced or implied. It is a crucial term in various legal documents, such as contracts, leases, and other binding agreements, where explicit consent is required to ensure the validity and enforceability of the document.

In everyday language, "suostunud" can also be used to express agreement or consent in less formal contexts. For instance, someone might say, "Ma olen suostunud sinu ettepanekuga," which translates to "I have agreed with your suggestion." This usage reflects the broader meaning of the term, which encompasses any situation where one person or entity willingly agrees to the terms or conditions proposed by another.
