nõutavale

Nõutavale is an Estonian word that translates to "required" or "demanded" in English. It is a grammatical form, specifically the partitive case of the word "nõutav," which itself means "required" or "demanded." The partitive case in Estonian is used to indicate an indefinite quantity, a part of something, or a situation where an action is directed towards a part of an object. Therefore, "nõutavale" would typically be used in sentences where something is being required or demanded, and the object of that requirement or demand is in the partitive case. For example, one might say "tema nõutavale ajale" which means "to his required time," indicating a portion or an indefinite amount of time that is needed. The context in which "nõutavale" appears will determine the precise nuance of its meaning, but the core idea remains one of necessity or obligation. It is a common and essential grammatical construct in the Estonian language, used across various contexts to express a sense of what is needed or expected.
