Täpsustage

Täpsustage is an Estonian verb form meaning please specify or please clarify. It is the second-person plural or formal imperative form of the verb täpsustada, which means to specify, clarify, or be precise. The term is commonly used in formal or professional communication to request additional details or to ensure accuracy in information, instructions, or requirements.

Grammatically, täpsustage is an imperative mood used to direct a group or a single person in a polite or official tone. It is transitive and typically appears with an accompanying object clause, noun phrase, or context that indicates what information is being requested. In everyday use, it often appears in combination with palun (please) as “Palun täpsustage…” or in a more direct form as “Täpsustage palun…”, both of which are considered courteous in Estonian professional interaction.

Usage and contexts include business correspondence, administrative procedures, customer service, and legal or governmental documents. It is employed when existing information is incomplete or ambiguous and precise details are required, such as dates, documents, specifications, or criteria. Examples include: “Palun täpsustage, millal sündmus algab,” “Täpsustage palun, milliseid dokumente on vaja,” and “Palun täpsustage, milliseid muudatusi on oodata.” The phrase contributes to clear, efficient communication by reducing ambiguity and guiding recipients toward specific, verifiable information.
