esitletav

Esitletav is an Estonian adjective formed from the verb esitama, meaning to present or submit. It functions as a present passive participle and translates roughly as "to be presented" or "to be submitted." The form esitletav describes nouns that are intended for presentation or submission, typically in formal, administrative, legal, or academic contexts.

In grammar, esitletav is used attributively and agrees with the noun in number and case. For example: esitletav dokument (a document to be presented) and esitletavate dokumentide nimekiri (the list of documents to be presented). The word also takes standard Estonian inflection endings: esitletava dokumendi (genitive singular), esitletava dokumendi nimekiri (nominative singular with a genitive qualifier), and esitletavate dokumentide (genitive plural). The construction is common in official texts when indicating items that will or must be presented.

Esitletav is related to other forms derived from esitama, as well as to esitatav and esitletud, which convey related meanings with slightly different nuances. Esitletav emphasizes the prospective action of presenting, whereas esitatav can be used more generally to denote something that is to be submitted, and esitletud indicates that something has already been presented.

In usage, esitletav frequently appears in bureaucratic, legal, or institutional language to label documents, proposals, or materials that are due for submission or presentation. It is a concise and neutral descriptor within formal communication.
