korrastavate

Korrastavate is an Estonian grammatical form derived from the verb korrastama, meaning to repair, tidy up, or put in order. As an adjective, korrastatav describes something that can be corrected or fixed, and korrastavate is the genitive plural form used when the modifier appears with a noun in the genitive plural.

In practice, korrastavate is used to indicate repairability or fixability of multiple items. It functions as a modifier rather than as a standalone noun. For example, a phrase like korrastatavate esemete nimekiri translates roughly to “a list of repairable items,” where esemete is the genitive plural of 'esi' meaning objects.

Derivation and usage notes: korrastatav is formed from korrastama with the -atav suffix, which yields a present-participle/attributive adjective meaning “able to be corrected.” The genitive plural ending -vate attaches to korrastatav to produce korrastatavate when describing a plural set of objects in genitive context. In other grammatical cases, the form of the adjective changes accordingly (for example, korrastatavate asjade for “of the repairable things,” with asjade being the genitive plural of ‘asi’).

Related terms include korrastama (to repair or tidy), korrastamine (the process of repairing or tidying), and korrastatav (the base adjective meaning repairable or fixable).

Korrastavate is primarily encountered in formal, administrative, or inventory-like texts where items are classified by their fixability. It is not a standalone noun but a descriptive form that aligns with Estonian adjective declension rules.
