emiteeritakse

Emiteeritakse is Estonian for “is emitted” or “are emitted.” It is the present passive form of the verb emiteerida (to emit) and is used to describe emission processes in scientific and technical contexts, such as the emission of light, radiation, particles, or signals. The construction is impersonal and does not specify the emitting agent, which can be introduced with phrases like by-phrases (for example, LED-i poolt, by the LED).

Morphology and usage: In Estonian, the present passive is formed by adding the suffix -takse to the verb stem, so emiteerida becomes emiteeritakse in the appropriate forms. Emiteeritakse is typically used to present a general, non-agentive statement about emission. The corresponding active forms include emiteerib (he/she/it emits) and emiteerivad (they emit). The past passive form is emiteeriti (it was emitted).

Contexts and examples: The verb is common in physics, chemistry, electronics, and optics. Examples include:

- Valgus emiteeritakse dioodist. (Light is emitted from the diode.)

- Kiirgus emiteeritakse radioaktiivse lagunemise tõttu. (Radiation is emitted due to radioactive decay.)

- Termoluminestsentsi korral emiteeritakse fotoneid. (Photons are emitted during thermoluminescence.)

See also: emiteerimine (emission), kiirgus (radiation), emissioon (emission in broader scientific terminology). Emiteeritakse captures a neutral, descriptive tone appropriate for encyclopedia-style text and is a standard way to state that an emission occurs without specifying the actor.
