edastatavaks

Edastatavaks is an Estonian adjective form used to describe content or data that is intended for transmission or broadcasting. It is derived from the verb edastama, meaning to broadcast or transmit, and from the participial adjective edastatav meaning broadcastable or transmissible. The form edastatavaks is the translative case of that adjective, commonly understood as “for broadcasting” or “to be broadcast.”

In practical use, edastatavaks appears in formal or technical language to indicate that material meets requirements for distribution through a broadcast system or network. It signals readiness or suitability for transmission, rather than describing the current act of broadcasting itself. The term is therefore often found in media guidelines, licensing provisions, content distribution policies, or archival metadata where precise status regarding broadcast capability is specified.

Edastatavaks is part of a small family of related forms around edastatav and edastus, which encompass notions of broadcasting, transmission, and transmissibility. As a translative form, it conveys a change of state or an intended purpose rather than a simple attribute, aligning with Estonian grammatical patterns for adjectives used in formal descriptions of media and data.
