loetletavad

Loetletavad is a term used in Estonian grammar to describe items that can be listed or enumerated. It is the present passive participle form of the verb loetlema (to list) and functions as an attributive adjective. The form is used to modify nouns and expresses that the described items are subject to listing or enumeration.

Usage and contexts include formal and technical language, such as legal documents, inventories, databases, and documentation. Phrases like loetletavad andmed (data that can be enumerated) or loetletavate punktide nimekiri (a list of enumerated items) are common. The term helps distinguish items that are to be listed from those treated as a single unit or not meant for enumeration.

Examples: Loetletavad andmed tuleb esitada kooskõlas andmekaitse nõuetega. Loetletavate punktide arv on suur.

Etymology: loetletavad is formed from the verb loetlema with the present passive participle suffix, yielding an adjective that agrees with the noun it modifies. In use, it conveys potential or capacity to be listed.
