hammastatud

Hammastatud is an Estonian term meaning “toothed” or “serrated.” It is an adjective formed from the noun hammas (tooth) with the participial suffix -tatud, and it is used to describe objects and surfaces that have teeth or tooth-like projections.

In technical language, hammastatud describes components that have gear-like teeth. Common usages include phrases such as hammastatud hammasratas to refer to a gear wheel with teeth and hammastatud serv or hammastatud pind to indicate serrated edges or tooth-like patterns on tools, blades, or mechanical parts. The term thus covers both rotating gears and non-rotating serrations that resemble teeth.

Etymology and form: hammastatud is a participial adjective derived from hammas (tooth) with the suffix -tatud, signaling that the subject possesses teeth or tooth-like features. The construction is typical in Estonian for describing physical attributes of objects in a precise, technical way.

Usage and examples: In engineering, manufacturing, and design contexts, hammastatud is used to convey that a component has teeth. Examples include “hammastatud hammasratas” (toothed gear wheel) and “hammastatud serv” (serrated edge) on blades or tools. The term can also describe serrated textures on surfaces used for grip, filtration, or engagement with other toothed parts.
