monitooritakse

Monitooritakse is an Estonian verbal form meaning “is monitored” or “will be monitored.” It is the passive present tense of the verb monitoorima (to monitor). In Estonian, passive forms are created with the suffix -itakse, so monitooritakse indicates that the subject is acted upon by an unspecified agent. The construction is neutral and commonly used in formal or technical discourse.

Etymology and usage: The verb monitoorima is a native Estonian verb built to describe continuous observation of systems, data, processes, or conditions. Monitooritakse appears in legal texts, regulatory guidelines, technical reports, and scientific writing to state that monitoring occurs without naming the specific actor. In everyday language, speakers may prefer verbs such as jälgima or kontrollima, but monitooritakse remains common in contexts emphasizing ongoing structured observation, such as data monitoring, system performance monitoring, environmental monitoring, or clinical trial oversight.

Examples: Data is monitored in real time: Andmed monitooritakse reaalajas. The system’s performance is monitored continuously: Süsteemi toimivust monitooritakse pidevalt. Environmental conditions are monitored by the authorities: Keskkonnatingimusi monitooritakse asjakohaste asutuste poolt.

See also: monitoorimine (monitoring), jälgimine, kontroll.
