olevaskäsitlevas

olevaskäsitlevas is an Estonian language term that translates to "about the existing" or "concerning what is." It is a descriptive phrase used to indicate that a particular discussion, text, or subject matter pertains to things that are currently present or are in a state of being. The term itself is formed by combining the genitive case of "olev" (existing) and the adessive case of "asi" (thing) with the possessive suffix "-lase" (its) and the adessive case suffix "-s" (in/on).

In practice, "olevaskäsitlevas" functions as a way to define the scope of a subject. For example, a report might be titled "Olevaskäsitlevas küsimustes" which would mean "Concerning Existing Issues." This implies that the report will focus on problems or topics that are presently relevant and require attention, rather than historical or hypothetical ones. The phrase emphasizes the tangible and current nature of the subject being addressed. It is a straightforward way to signal that the focus is on the here and now.
