olemasolevat

Olemasolevat is an Estonian adjective meaning existing or present. It is the partitive singular form of the adjective olemasolev, a compound built from the noun olemas, meaning existence or presence, and the participial suffix -lev that denotes a state of being. The word is used to describe something that exists or is present within a given context, often in formal, legal, or technical language.

In Estonian grammar, adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in number and case. Olemasolevat appears when the noun it modifies is in the partitive case, for example in phrases such as olemasolevat teavet (existing information) or olemasolevat olukorda (an existing situation). The base form olemasolev is used in the nominative and other cases, while olemasolevat functions as a partitive form.

Common usage covers both abstract and concrete references to existence, including discussions of data, resources, conditions, or conditions of fact. In philosophical or legal texts, olemasolevat helps differentiate current, actual existence from potential or hypothetical states.
