Töötatava

Töötatava is an Estonian word that functions as a present active participle in the genitive case. It is derived from the verb "töötama," which means "to work" or "to be employed." As a participle, töötatava describes an ongoing action or state. Specifically, it denotes something or someone that is currently working or being worked upon. The genitive case ending "-va" indicates possession, relation, or an indirect object, depending on the context in which it is used.

For example, in the phrase "töötatava projekti," töötatava modifies "projekti" (project). This phrase would translate to "of the project being worked on" or "of the project under development." The participle here describes the state of the project – that it is in the process of being worked on. Similarly, if used to describe a person, "töötatava töötaja" would mean "of the employee who is working." The exact nuance of the genitive case will further clarify the relationship between the participle and the noun it modifies. It is a grammatical form that highlights an active, ongoing process connected to another element in the sentence.
