Viljeldavate

Viljeldavate is an Estonian term used primarily in agricultural and land-management contexts. It refers to things that can be cultivated or arable, with a focus on land or soil suitable for crop production. The base adjective viljeldav denotes cultivability, while viljeldavate is the genitive plural form, used when describing attributes of cultivable items, such as lands, soils, or resources.

Etymology and definitions

The word originates from the Estonian verb viljeleda or related roots meaning to cultivate, combined with the adjectival suffix -dav. As an adjective, viljeldav describes something capable of cultivation; viljeldavate marks the possessive or enumerative relationship in phrases such as “viljeldavate alade” (cultivable areas) or “viljeldavate omaduste” (cultivable characteristics). In practical use, it often appears in technical documents, planning reports, and agronomic studies.

Usage

In practice, viljeldavate is used to categorize land and soil based on their suitability for agriculture. It helps differentiate between cultivable and non-cultivable areas for purposes such as zoning, land-use planning, and crop planning.
