jäljendatavad

Jäljendatavad is an Estonian adjective meaning capable of being imitated, reproduced, or copied. It is formed from the verb jäljendama (to imitate or reproduce) with the suffix -atav and the plural ending -ad, yielding a form that describes multiple items or phenomena. The corresponding singular form is jäljendatav.

The term is used in both everyday language and technical discourse to indicate that something can be replicated or copied under similar conditions. It is common in discussions of patterns, methods, processes, data, and results where reproducibility or copyability is relevant. In science and engineering, jäljendatavad describes experiments, procedures, or datasets that others can reproduce, which supports verification and reliability. In design, art, and manufacturing, it can refer to patterns, templates, or specifications that others can imitate.

Notes on nuance: jäljendatavad does not inherently convey quality or desirability; it merely states the capacity for replication or imitation. Depending on the context, it may emphasize practical reproducibility, standardization, or the ease with which something can be copied.

Related terms include the singular jäljendatav (imitable/reproducible) and, in some contexts, discussions may contrast jäljendatavad with terms referring to traceability or originality. In translation, English equivalents are often given as reproducible or imitatable, depending on the intended sense.
