kasutamata

Kasutamata is an Estonian adjective meaning unused or not used. It is formed from the verb kasutama, meaning to use, with the suffix -mata, which yields a participial adjective indicating the absence of the action. The term is used to describe objects, resources, or opportunities that have not yet been used or allocated.

In grammar, kasutamata behaves like other adjectives, agreeing with the noun in number and case. It commonly appears in compound noun phrases, such as kasutamata varud (unused reserves) or kasutamata aeg (unused time), though actual collocations depend on context and register.

In practical use, kasutamata is likely to appear in documents, inventories, budgets, and procurement reports to mark assets or funds that remain idle. It conveys a status that may prompt reallocation, sale, or disposal. It is a normal part of Estonian vocabulary rather than a specialized technical term.
