eiratakse

Eiratakse is an Estonian verbal form used to express that something is ignored or disregarded. It is the present passive form derived from the verb eira, meaning to ignore or disregard, with the passive suffix -takse. In this construction, the agent performing the action is not stated, and the focus is on the occurrence of the action itself.

Morphology and usage notes: In Estonian, the passive present is formed with the suffix -takse, yielding forms like eiratakse from the verb root eira. The form can be used with a range of subjects, depending on the sentence, and it often carries a sense of impersonal or generalized action. The active counterpart would be eirada or eira, depending on the exact lexical item in use.

Examples: Need küsimused eiratakse. (These questions are ignored.) Need dokumendid eiratakse. (These documents are ignored.) In discourse, eiratakse is commonly found in reporting about neglected concerns, ignored warnings, or disregard by authorities or institutions.

Context and reception: Eiratakse appears in Estonian media, political commentary, and academic discussions as a concise way to describe neglect or disregard without specifying a responsible agent. It can carry a evaluative tone, depending on context, but remains a standard grammatical form rather than a fixed idiom.
