omandatav

Omandatav is an Estonian adjective meaning capable of being owned or to be owned. It is formed from the verb omandama, “to acquire possession,” with the suffix -atav, which marks potential or prospective action. The term is commonly found in formal or technical language, particularly in legal, economic, and administrative texts, where it is used to describe assets, rights, or resources that may be owned by an individual or organization. The concept helps distinguish between items that are currently owned and those that are eligible for ownership under existing rules or agreements.

In usage, omandatav describes future or contingent ownership rather than established ownership. It often appears in classifications, regulatory descriptions, or property-related discussions to indicate that ownership is possible subject to conditions. The word is part of a broader family around ownership and property in Estonian, including related forms derived from omandama and other affixes.
