arendatakse

Arendatakse is the present passive form of the Estonian verb arendada, meaning “is developed” or “are developed.” In Estonian, passive forms are used to describe actions performed on an object or on information by an unspecified agent, with the emphasis on the process rather than who performs it. arendatakse is common in formal, technical, and scientific writing, as well as in news and product descriptions.

Usage examples show its role in describing ongoing development projects or produced outcomes. It can refer to software, hardware, or concept development, often without naming the agent responsible for the action. Examples include: “Projekti raames arendatakse uut tarkvara” (Within the project, new software is being developed) and “Arendatakse uusi tehnoloogiaid” (New technologies are being developed). The passive form allows statements about what is being created or improved without attributing action to a specific subject.

Related forms and notes: the active counterpart is arendada (to develop). Nouns such as arendus (development), arendamine (the act of developing), and arendaja (developer) are common in the same domain. Past passive forms exist as arendati (was/were developed). The passive voice, including arendatakse, is widely used in Estonian to describe processes, results, or ongoing activities, and its usage is not limited to technical contexts but appears across formal and informational writing.
