Valminud

Valminud is an Estonian past passive participle derived from the verb valmima, meaning to prepare, produce, or become ready. Used as an attributive or predicative adjective, it denotes something that has been created, finished, or made ready. In English, valminud is often translated as “made,” “prepared,” “completed,” or “ready.”

Usage and nuance: Valminud describes items that have completed production or preparation. Common collocations include valminud toit (a prepared meal), valminud toode (a manufactured product), and valminud dokument (a completed document). The term emphasizes completion or readiness, in contrast to valmistatud, which stresses the act of manufacturing or construction.

Grammar and style: Valminud is a participial adjective and generally agrees with the noun it modifies, and it can function as a predicate in phrases such as toode on valminud (the product is finished). Negation is formed as mitte valminud (not yet prepared/completed). The word is standard in general and technical writing, labeling, and product descriptions, and it appears in both formal and informal registers.
