Teostatav

Teostatav is an Estonian adjective meaning feasible or realizable, used to describe whether something can be implemented or executed in practice. It is formed from the verb teostada, to realize or execute, with the adjectival suffix -atav, indicating potential or capability. The related noun teostatavus is used to refer to feasibility or realizability as a concept.

In technical and planning contexts, teostatav is used to evaluate conditions under which a plan, method, or system can be carried out. For example, discussions of a project’s teostatavus focus on constraints such as time, budget, and resources, and whether the proposed outcomes can be achieved. In software engineering and systems design, statements about teostatav describe whether a feature or architecture can be implemented within current technology, standards, and governance requirements.

Teostatav is often contrasted with nominal or theoretical possibility. While something may be possible in principle, teostatav emphasizes practical viability and the steps required to realize it. The term also appears in feasibility studies and evaluation reports, where assessing teostatav leads to decisions about whether to proceed, adjust, or abandon an initiative.

In multilingual contexts, teostatav aligns with terms such as feasible, realizable, or implementable in adjacent languages, but carries a distinctive Estonian nuance of practical viability rather than mere possibility.
