jõustatavate

Jõustatavate is an Estonian term used in legal and administrative language to refer to provisions, rules, or acts that have entered into force and are enforceable. It is the genitive plural form of the participial adjective jõustatav, meaning enforceable or put into force. The base verb is jõustama, to enact or bring into effect; related nouns include jõustatus (the state of being in force) and jõustumine (the act of coming into force).

In practice, jõustatavate is used to modify a noun in the genitive, for example jõustatavate sätete nimekiri, meaning a list of enforceable provisions. It often appears in legal texts to distinguish items that are currently effective from those that are not yet in force. The form helps specify the subset of rules or acts that have binding effect at a given time.

Usage notes: jõustatav as a base form expresses a potential or attribute—something that can be brought into force—while jõustatav, in the genitive plural jõustatavate, marks items that are currently in effect or recognized as enforceable within the context. In legal drafting, precise use of such forms supports clear delineation of which provisions are binding and applicable.
