lõigatud

Lõigatud is the Estonian past passive participle of the verb lõigata (to cut). It functions as an adjective indicating that something has been cut, trimmed, or shortened. The term is widely used across domains to describe physical modification as well as edited or shortened content. In everyday language it can describe food, hair, fabric, or text that has been cut or divided. In film, video, and editing contexts it denotes material that has been trimmed or rearranged, for example lõigatud stseen (a cut/edited scene) or lõigatud video (edited video).

As a grammatical form, lõigatud is used both attributively and predicatively and agrees with the noun it describes in number and case. Examples include leib on lõigatud (the bread is cut) or juuksed on lõigatud (the hair has been trimmed). It can also modify nouns that refer to edited content, such as tekst on lõigatud (the text has been cut) or film on lõigatud (the film has been edited).

Etymologically, lõigatud is derived from the verb lõigata (to cut), itself related to the noun lõik (a cut). The form is a common way to express a completed action affecting a noun, signaling that the object has undergone cutting, trimming, or removal.

In usage, lõigatud appears in everyday speech as well as technical language in cooking, fashion, printing, and multimedia production, always conveying that some portion has been removed or altered by cutting.
