eraldatud

Eraldatud is an Estonian adjective formed as the past passive participle of the verb eraldama, meaning to separate, detach, or allocate. The word is used to describe something that has been set apart or designated for a particular purpose, as well as something that has been physically or figuratively separated from a group or whole. The sense of the term depends on context, ranging from physical separation to financial or administrative allocation.

In grammar, eraldatud functions as a past passive participle and agrees with the head noun in number and case. It can appear in attributive position (eraldatud summa, eraldatud ressursid) or predicatively (Raha on eraldatud). The choice of noun and surrounding construction determines the precise meaning, but the core idea remains that the item has already been distinguished for a defined aim.

Common contexts for eraldatud include finance and budgeting, project management, and data or document handling. It is frequently used to denote resources, funds, or data that have been reserved or designated for a specific purpose. For example, “Eelarves on eraldatud 2 miljonit eurot projekti jaoks” means the budget includes two million euros allocated for the project.
