administraatiivsed

Administraatiivsed is an Estonian adjective form meaning related to administration or administrative matters. It is used to describe processes, bodies, actions, or policies that pertain to the organization, execution, and oversight of public or organizational administration.

The base form of the word is administraatiivne, with administerial or administrative meaning. Administraatiivsed is the plural nominative form used to modify plural nouns, for example administraatiivsed toimingud (administrative actions) or administraatiivsed meetmed (administrative measures). Like other Estonian adjectives, it declines according to case, number, and gender of the noun it modifies.

In usage, administraatiivsed typically appears in contexts concerning public administration, administrative law, and organizational governance. It contrasts with non-administrative spheres such as legislative or judicial functions, and with more political or strategic terminology. The term appears in official texts, policy documents, academic writing, and media discussing bureaucratic procedures, regulatory frameworks, or administrative penalties and processes.

Common phrases include administraatiivsed toimingud, administraatiivsed piirangud, and administraatiivsed karistused, illustrating its role in describing procedural and organizational aspects rather than substantive policy content.
