organiseeriti

Organiseeriti is an Estonian verb form meaning was organized or were organized. It is the past tense passive form of organizeerida (to organize) and is used when the event, activity, or arrangement is described as having been organized, while the person or group that did the organizing is not stated.

Grammatical notes: In Estonian, the passive form focuses on the action’s result rather than the agent. Organiseeriti can refer to a singular or plural subject depending on context, and is translated into English as was organized or were organized. To indicate the agent, a phrase such as poolt (by) or koostöös (in cooperation with) can be added, for example: Üritus organiseeriti vabatahtlike poolt. Konverents organiseeriti koostöös kohaliku omavalitsusega.

Etymology and related forms: Organiseerima is a loanword in Estonian, borrowed from German or English through common European usage. Related words include organisatsioon (organization), organiseerimine (organizing), and organiseeritud (organized). The form organiseeritus (the act of organizing) and organizeeriva (organizing) appear in related contexts.

Usage notes: Organiseeriti is commonly found in news reports, official announcements, and event descriptions when the focus is on the fact that something was organized, without naming the organizers. It may sometimes be preferred over active forms in formal or impersonal writing.
