klõpsatud

Klõpsatud is Estonian and denotes the past passive participle form of the verb klõpsama, meaning to click. It is used to indicate that the action of clicking has occurred on something. The word functions as a descriptive modifier or as part of a predicate to express that an object has been clicked.

In usage, klõpsatud describes objects such as links, buttons, or menu items that have been interacted with by clicking. It agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case, for example: klõpsatud link (a clicked link), klõpsatud lingid (the clicked links). It can also appear in compound predicates, such as “link on klõpsatud” (the link has been clicked) or “nupp on klõpsatud” (the button has been clicked). In digital contexts, klõpsatud is common in user interfaces, analytics labels, and documentation to convey that a click action has taken place.

Etymology and related forms: klõpsatud is derived from klõpsama, a verb rooted in the onomatopoeic sense of a short, sharp sound. Related forms include klõpsama (to click), klõps (a click, the noun), and the imperfective or imperative variants of the verb. Another widely used loanword in Estonian for click-related terminology is klikima, though klõpsama remains the standard native-form usage in many contexts.
