esiletoodud

Esiletoodud is the Estonian participial adjective meaning something that has been brought forward or presented for consideration. It is used to describe documents, proposals, plans, laws, or other items that have been introduced to a decision-making body or audience for discussion, review, or approval. The term signals that the item is not yet enacted or decided, but is being circulated for feedback or debate.

The word is formed from esile, meaning toward the front or forward, and toodud, the past participle of tooma (to bring). In formal language it is common to encounter esiletoodud followed by a noun, for example esiletoodud eelnõu (a proposed bill), esiletoodud plaan (a presented plan), or esiletoodud seadus (a proposed law). It is typically used in legislative, governmental, or policy-writing contexts but can appear in corporate or academic discourse when something has been formally introduced for consideration.

Usage notes: esiletoodud emphasizes that the item has been formally introduced and is awaiting discussion or decision. It is more specific than simply “presented” and is usually reserved for official or semi-official communications. In everyday Estonian, other phrases might be used to describe proposals without the formal nuance.

Examples: Valitsus esitas esiletoodud eelnõu parlamentile. (The government submitted the proposed bill to parliament.) Esiletoodud plaan on arutamiseks jaotatud komisjonide vahel. (The presented plan is distributed for discussion among committees.)
