kavandatavaid

Kavandatavaid is an Estonian participial adjective form derived from the verb kavandama, meaning to devise, plan, or conceive. The term literally signals items that are yet to be created or formulated, such as ideas, measures, or solutions. It is commonly used in planning, policy, and innovation contexts to indicate prospective or in-progress concepts rather than something already designed.

Morphology and usage notes: kavandatav is the base form meaning “to be devised” or “to be planned.” Kavandatavaid is the inflected form used to modify plural nouns in contexts where the noun is treated in a partitive or related case, for example with kavandatavaid ideid (ideas to be devised) or kavandatavaid meetmeid (measures to be devised). The exact ending depends on the grammatical role of the noun in a sentence. In English translation, kavandatavaid generally renders as “to be devised,” “to be proposed,” or “to be developed.”

Contexts and examples: The expression appears in strategic documents, grant calls, and academic discussions when outlining prospective projects or proposals. Example phrases include kavandatavaid ideid (ideas to be devised), kavandatavaid lahendusi (solutions to be devised), and kavandatavaid meetmeid (measures to be devised). These usages emphasize future-oriented planning rather than completed work.

Relation to related terms: Kavandatav is contrasted with kavandatud (planned or designed) to distinguish between prospective concepts and those already formulated. The term is part of a broader Estonian verbal-adjective system that forms participial adjectives to describe actions or states tied to nouns.
