Väljastanud

Väljastanud is the Estonian past active participle of the verb väljastama, meaning to issue or to publish. It denotes that the issuing action has been performed and is used to describe the agent or entity that carried out the issuing.

In usage, väljastanud appears in formal or administrative language as part of noun phrases referring to the issuer. For example, it can modify a person or institution that performed the issuing, such as an issuing authority or an issuing official. The form highlights the subject responsible for issuing rather than the result of the action.

A closely related form is väljastatud, the passive past participle, which describes the result of issuing. This form is commonly used to characterize objects that have been issued, such as documents or licenses (for example, an issued document). The infinitive form of the verb is väljastama, from which these participles are derived.

In summary, väljastanud is used to identify who or what performed the act of issuing, whileväljastatud refers to the thing that has been issued. Both forms appear in legal, governmental, and formal contexts to convey issuance and authority.
