diskonteeritud

Diskonteeritud is a Estonian adjective describing goods, services, or prices that have had a discount applied. It is commonly used in retail, catalogs and online shops to indicate that the current price is lower than the original price.

Etymology and form: The word derives from the verb diskonteerida, borrowed from the English “discount,” with the Estonian suffix -eeritud forming the past participle. Thus diskonteeritud denotes that a discount has been applied to an item.

Usage in commerce: In practice, you may encounter phrases such as diskonteeritud hind (discounted price) or diskonteeritud toode (discounted item). Retailers often present both the original price and the diskonteeritud price during campaigns. The term is widespread in marketing language to emphasize savings and attract buyers.

Relation to related terms: Diskonteeritud is related to allahindlus, which refers to the discount event or the act of reducing price, whereas diskonteeritud describes the current state of the price after the discount has been applied. In financial contexts, similar notions may appear as diskont (discount) or diskontimine (discouning future value), but these usages differ from the consumer pricing sense of diskonteeritud.

Examples: A store lists a diskonteeritud hind of 39.99 euros for a jacket originally priced at 59.99. During a sale, many products become diskonteeritud. See also: allahindlus, diskont, hinnad.
