Sünkroonitakse

Sünkroonitakse iseseisev Estonian verb form meaning that something is being synchronized. It is the present passive form of the verb sünkroonima, which means to synchronize or to bring into alignment in time or state. The expression functions to describe a process without naming the agent performing it, equivalent to the English “is synchronized” or “are synchronized.”

In Estonian, the present passive is formed with the suffix -takse, so sünkroonitakse literally indicates an ongoing synchronization. The stem of the verb is sünkroon-, with the -ima infinitive and the passive suffix added in a standard way, making the form suitable for general and impersonal statements about synchronization tasks.

Sünkroonitakse is commonly found in technical and IT contexts, as well as in manuals, configuration guides, and status reports. It is used when describing automatic processes that align data, devices, or systems with each other or with a reference source. For example, “Andmed sünkroonitakse serveriga reaalajas,” “Seadmed sünkroonitakse automaatselt iga öösel,” and “Dokumendid sünkroonitakse kliendi ja serveri vahel.”

Related terms include sünkroonimine or sünkroniseerimine, referring to the process of synchronization, and are used in more noun-like or formal discussions of the same concept. Sünkroonitakse remains a neutral, action-focused form appropriate for technical or instructional writing.
