Täidetakse

Täidetakse is the Estonian present passive form of the verb täita, meaning “is fulfilled” or “is completed.” It describes an action where the thing being fulfilled is the grammatical subject, while the agent performing the action is not specified. The form is commonly used in formal, administrative, and legal contexts to indicate that obligations, requirements, or conditions are being met.

Usage and meaning: In sentences, täidetakse conveys that something is carried out or satisfied. It is often used with references to contracts, regulations, deadlines, or other obligations. For example, "Nõuded täidetakse tähtajaks" means the requirements are fulfilled by the deadline, and "Leping täidetakse kokkulepitud tingimustel" means the contract is fulfilled under the agreed conditions. The passive form emphasizes the result (fulfillment) rather than the doer.

Morphology and related forms: Täidetakse is a present passive form derived from täita (to fill, to fulfil, to complete). The active counterpart is täidab (he/she/it fulfils). Related nouns include täitmine, which denotes the act or process of fulfilling. The passive voice in Estonian often uses suffixes such as -takse to form clauses where the subject is acted upon without naming the agent.
