Teostava

Teostava is a term used in the Estonian language, formed from the verb teostama, which means to realise or to execute. As an adjective in its participial form, teostava generally describes actions, processes, or objects connected with realization or implementation. In practical use, it conveys the idea of something that is in the process of being realised or is intended to be realised.

In contemporary writing, teostava commonly appears in contexts such as project planning, policy development, and management discussions, where plans are described in terms of their progression toward concrete outcomes. It is closely related to, and often contrasted with, teostamine (the act of realising) and teostus (the result or act of realisation). The term can function within noun phrases to indicate the aspect of realization associated with a project, plan, or initiative.

Grammar notes: teostava is a participial adjective, reflecting ongoing or impending realization. Related forms include teostatav (a form used in other grammatical contexts to express feasibility or executability) and teostatavus (a nominalization related to feasibility or tendency toward realisation). The exact usage can vary with register and field, but the central idea remains the same: teostava signals that realisation is a relevant, active aspect of the subject.

Teostava thus serves as a concise way to reference the realisation phase in Estonian discourse, complementary to the noun teostamine and the noun teostus.
