alahinnatud

Alahinnatud is Estonian an adjective meaning undervalued or discounted. It derives from the prefix alla- meaning “under” and hinnatud, the past participle of hindama (to value or price). The word captures two related notions: something whose price has been reduced (in commerce) and something judged as less valuable than it actually is (in assessment).

In commerce, alahinnatud kaup or alahinnatud hind signifies a reduced price, often marketed as a sale. A consumer-facing phrase might be “alahinnatud toode” or “alahinnatud hind” with the intention of attracting buyers. In non-economic usage, the term can describe a person, product, or idea that is undervalued or overlooked by others.

Related terms include allahindlus (discount), alandatud hind (lowered price), and soodushind (special offer price). The word is common in advertising and consumer discourse, but its meaning depends on context: it can denote a temporary price reduction or a longer-term undervaluation in evaluation.
