omandatakse

Omandatakse is the present passive form of the Estonian verb omandama, meaning to acquire or to obtain. In usage, omandatakse indicates that something is being acquired or comes under ownership, without specifying the agent responsible for the acquisition.

Grammatically, omandatakse is formed from the infinitive omandama by adding the present passive suffix, yielding a form that does not indicate a particular subject. It is commonly used in formal or legal language to describe a state of ownership or transfer, where the actor performing the acquisition may be left unnamed.

Common contexts for omandatakse include property, rights, and resources. For example: "Kinnistu omandatakse ostu teel" (The property is acquired by purchase); "Omandatakse pärimise teel" (It is acquired by inheritance). The related noun omand means possession or ownership, while omandiõigus refers to the right of ownership. The past participle omandatud denotes something that has been acquired or owned.

Notes on usage: when the agent of the acquisition needs to be specified, it is typically done by adding a phrase such as "kelle poolt" or "suutlikkuse alusel" to the sentence, though the standard passive form remains primarily agent-agnostic. Omandamine refers to the process of acquiring, whereas omandatud describes the resulting state of ownership.
