eemaldati

Eemaldati is an Estonian verb form meaning “was removed” or “has been removed.” It is the past tense, passive form of the verb eemaldama, which covers meanings such as to remove, delete, or eliminate. The form is used when the doer of the removal is unknown or not stated, which is common in neutral reporting and notices.

Morphology and related forms: Eemaldati is built from the stem eemalda- with the past tense passive ending -ti. Related forms include eemaldatud, the past participle used as an adjective meaning “removed” (for example, eemaldatud dokument — “the removed document”), and eemaldamine, the noun form referring to the act of removing. Other tenses use different forms, such as eemaldab in the present tense.

Usage: In journalism and official statements, eemaldati is used to report that something was taken away, relocated, or eliminated, without naming the agent. It can refer to physical removals (objects from a location), content removals (items deleted from a document or online environment), or policy changes that remove restrictions. Example: Seina plakat eemaldati eile.
