Vastuvõetavate

Vastuvõetav is an Estonian adjective meaning acceptable, admissible, or permissible, used to describe things that meet established criteria, norms, or standards. The inflected form vastuvõetavate is the genitive plural of vastuvõetav and occurs when the adjective modifies a noun in the genitive case, for example vastuvõetavate meetmete rakendamine ("the implementation of acceptable measures") or vastuvõetavate standardite puudumine ("the lack of acceptable standards").

In usage, vastuvõetav often appears in legal, administrative, and policy contexts, where it denotes compliance with formal criteria rather than personal judgment. It carries a stronger sense of conformity with defined thresholds than words like sobiv (suitable) and, depending on context, differs from lubatav (permissible or legal) in focus on acceptability against standards rather than legality alone.

Examples of phrases include vastuvõetavate meetmete rakendamine to reduce emissions and vastuvõetavate standardite osas a question or issue concerning what is considered acceptable by existing standards. The term is commonly found in official documents, policy analyses, and academic writing dealing with regulatory or normative requirements.

Notes on grammar: vastuvõetav is an attribute that agrees with the noun it describes. Its genitive plural form vastuvõetavate is used when the noun is in genitive (as in metmete, standardite, or other plurals). This word pair helps express evaluative judgments about conformity to predefined criteria within Estonian prose.
