lõigustatud

Lõigustatud is an Estonian adjective formed from the verb lõikama (to cut) with the suffix -ustatud. It denotes a state resulting from the action of cutting or editing, and is used to describe material that has been trimmed, shortened, or revised.

In use, lõigustatud often appears in media, text editing, and document processing contexts. It emphasizes that the item has undergone an editing process, rather than merely having been cut. The more common past participle lõigatud is also used to indicate that something has been cut; lõigustatud carries a nuance of an edited, finalized form.

Morphology and grammar: as an adjective, lõigustatud agrees with the noun in number and case just like other Estonian adjectives. It typically precedes the noun, for example lõigustatud video or lõigustatud tekst. In plural form it becomes lõigustatud videod or lõigustatud tekste, depending on the noun’s inflection.

Relation to related terms: the verb stem lõikama can yield related forms such as lõigatud (cut, cut and finished) and other derivatives. In more formal or technical contexts, redigeeritud (edited) may be used as a more neutral substitute for edited text or multimedia.

Examples:

- Lõigustatud video on sobivam terve esitluse jaoks.

- Lõigustatud tekstist eemaldati tooris ebaolulised lõigud.

See also: lõikama, lõigatud, redigeeritud.

Note: lõigustatud is relatively domain-specific and may be less common in everyday speech, where lõigatud is often sufficient to indicate that something has been cut.
