aktiveeritakse

Aktiveeritakse is the present passive form of the Estonian verb aktiveerima, meaning to activate. It translates to “is activated” or “is being activated” in English and is used to describe a process in which activation occurs without specifying the agent responsible for the action. The form is common in technical, procedural, and descriptive texts.

Morphology and grammar: In Estonian, the present passive is formed with the suffix -takse. The form aktiveeritakse does not indicate the doer of the action, making it suitable for impersonal or system-driven statements. The subject is often implicit or generic, which suits manuals, specifications, and scientific writing. Other related forms include aktiivne aktiveerimine (activation), aktiveerima (to activate), and aktiveeriti (activated in the past).

Usage: Aktiveeritakse appears frequently in manuals, user guides, and automation contexts to describe automatic or user-independent activation events. Examples include: “Kui nuppu vajutatakse, aktiveeritakse süsteem.” (When the button is pressed, the system is activated.) “Süsteem aktiveeritakse automaatselt pärast sisse- või väljalogimist.” (The system is activated automatically after login or logout.) The form is neutral and suitable for instructions and technical descriptions.

Etymology and related terms: The verb originates from the loanword aktiveerima, itself formed from selector root aktiveer- plus the -ima infinitive suffix. Common related terms include aktiveerimine (activation), aktiveerija (activator), and aktiivne (active).
