Täpsustuvad

Täpsustuvad is the Estonian verb form that means to become more precise or to be clarified. It is the third person plural present tense of the intransitive verb täpsustuma, used when referring to something that is undergoing refinement or clarification. The subject in a sentence—such as data, statements, plans, or conditions— undergoes the process of becoming more precise.

The verb täpsustuma is derived from täpsus (precision) and is used to describe ongoing refinement rather than a completed change. In practice, täpsustuvad appears in contexts such as journalism, research, and public administration, where information or arrangements are not yet finalized but are being specified as more details become available.

Usage notes: Täpsustuvad is intransitive and does not take a direct object. It typically accompanies subjects like data, plans, or statements. It can be paired with time expressions to indicate tempo or progression, for example jooksvalt (in real time) or peatselt (soon).

Examples:

- Andmed täpsustuvad jooksvalt. (The data are being refined in real time.)

- Mõned põhieeldused täpsustuvad järgmises aruandes. (Some main assumptions are being clarified in the next report.)

- Arutelu käigus täpsustuvad mõned üksikasjad. (During the discussion, some details become clearer.)

In summary, täpsustuvad describes a process of increasing precision or clarification applied to subjects that are being refined as information becomes available.
