kasutatavuses

Kasutatavuses is an Estonian term used in technical and administrative contexts to describe the status of an item as usable or in service. It denotes that the object, system, or asset is currently operational or available for use, as opposed to being out of service, under repair, or decommissioned.

The word is formed from the verb kasutama (to use) and the participle kasutatav (usable). Kasutatavuses appears mainly in formal documents such as asset management records, maintenance logs, catalogs, and procurement notes. It is relatively rare in everyday speech and is typically encountered in professional or institutional language.

In practice, kasutatavuses is used to indicate a ready-to-use condition or the current operational status of equipment, vehicles, or facilities. It is often combined with other qualifiers or dates, for example: “masin on kasututavuses alates 2024” or “seadmed on kasutatavuses ja kontrollitud.” While kasututavuses conveys a similar idea to kasutuses (in use), it emphasizes the state of being usable or available as a formal status designation.

Related terms include kasutus (use), kasutusse võtmine (to bring into use), and toimiv (functional/operational). In many everyday contexts, people may simply say that something is kasutuses or in working condition, but kasutatavuses appears as a precise, sometimes bureaucratic alternative in records and catalogs.
