identifitseeritavad

Identifitseeritavad is an Estonian adjectival participle meaning “that can be identified” or “identifiable.” It is formed from the verb identifitseerida (to identify) and is used to describe nouns whose referents can be determined or recognized. In grammatical terms, identifitseeritavad functions as a present passive participle, and it agrees with the noun it modifies in number, gender, and case, following the standard patterns of Estonian -dav participles.

Usage and meaning. The word typically appears in technical, scientific, or analytical contexts where the focus is on the ability to identify certain items or features. It can label features, objects, or data entries as being identifiable, as in lists or descriptions of attributes that are suitable for recognition or confirmation. In Estonian texts, the plural form identifitseeritavad is common when referring to multiple identifiable items, whereas the singular forms are used for a single item or feature.

Grammatical notes. Identifitseeritavad declines like other Estonian adjectives of the -dav class. It can be used attributively before a noun, most often in noun phrases such as identifitseeritavad omadused (identifiable characteristics) or identifitseeritavad elemendid (identifiable elements). The form is typically chosen to match the noun it describes in number and case, making it a flexible descriptor in descriptive and analytical writing.

Examples. In Estonian, one might say: “Identifitseeritavad omadused olid loetletud raportis,” meaning “The identifiable features were listed in the report.” Another example is “Me töötleme identifitseeritavaid andmeid,” meaning “We process identifiable data.” The term also appears in glossaries and methodological sections to indicate what aspects are capable of being identified during analysis.
