Teavitamis

Teavitamis, in Estonian usage, refers to the act of informing or notifying someone about a fact, event, decision, or obligation. The noun teavitamine denotes notification or informing, and teavitamis is the form encountered in compound terms or inflected phrases describing the act itself. It encompasses both informal and formal communications intended to make the recipient aware of something.

Teavitamise occurs in many contexts, including civil, administrative, corporate, and personal affairs. It may concern decisions, deadlines, changes in terms, required actions, or warnings. Notifications can be delivered in writing or electronically, and they may be voluntary or mandated by law or contract. Typical elements of a valid teavitamine include identifying the notifier and recipient, stating the subject, giving essential details (what, when, how), providing instructions or deadlines, and indicating potential consequences of non-compliance or inaction.

In legal and administrative contexts, teavitamine often serves to initiate timelines, trigger rights or duties, and ensure due process. Proper delivery and receipt are usually important for the notice to take effect. When a recipient cannot be reached, authorities or contracting parties may rely on alternative channels or published notices, but such steps must satisfy applicable rules to preserve legal validity. Proof of delivery or acknowledged receipt is commonly required to establish that teavitamine has occurred.

Modern practice increasingly relies on electronic teavitamine, such as email or official portals, while balancing data protection and privacy concerns. Effective teavitamine is clear, specific, and timely, enabling recipients to respond or prepare within the stated timeframe. See also notification, notice, and related administrative communications.
