märkitud

Märkitud is an Estonian word meaning marked, labeled, or annotated. It functions as an adjective or participial modifier to indicate that something has undergone a marking or tagging process. The form is derived from the verb märkima (to mark) and is commonly found in technical, academic, and data-oriented writing.

In usage, märkitud describes data, features, or elements that have been identified with markers, labels, or annotations. For example, märkitud andmed refers to data that has been annotated for analysis; märkitud punktid refers to marked points on a map; märkitud tegurid denotes identified factors in a study. The term is frequently encountered in fields such as cartography, linguistics, biology, and information science, where labeling or annotation is a standard procedure.

Notes on variation: In practice, both märkitud and märgitud may appear in Estonian texts. The choice between forms can reflect editorial preference, register, or historical usage rather than a strict difference in meaning. Understanding the context will help determine which form is appropriate in a given sentence.
