juhendatakse

Juhendatakse is the present passive form of the Estonian verb juhendada, meaning to guide, direct, or supervise. In English it is commonly translated as “is guided” or “is being guided.” The form describes that guidance or instruction is being provided to the subject by an agent, which may be explicit (for example, by a teacher or supervisor) or left unspecified.

Grammatically, juhendatakse is used for the third-person subject in present tense passive voice. It appears in contexts where the emphasis is on the recipient of guidance rather than on who is giving it. The construction is common in educational, training, administrative, and procedural texts, as well as in everyday descriptions of instructions being given to someone.

Usage notes and examples:

- Õpilased juhendatakse õpetaja poolt. (The students are guided by the teacher.)

- Uue tööprotsessi järgimine juhendatakse dokumentatsiooni alusel. (The adherence to the new workflow is guided by the documentation.)

Related forms include juhendada (to guide/direct), juhendaja (supervisor/mentor), and juhendamine (guidance/instruction). The passive form juhendatakse often coexists with active constructions such as juhendab (he/she/it guides) depending on whether the focus is on the actor or the recipient. The term is neutral and widely applicable in formal and informal Estonian texts to indicate that guidance, instruction, or supervision is being provided.
