osastipassiiviga
Osastipassiiviga is a linguistic term used in Estonian-language discussions to describe a clause in which passive voice applies to only part of the predicate. The construction stands in contrast to a fully passive or fully active clause and is used in typological analyses of voice systems.
Etymology: The term combines osast- (from osa, 'part') with passiiv ('passive') and the instrumental suffix -iga,
Usage: The concept is relatively rare in standard grammars and appears mainly in theoretical or descriptive
Characteristics: Key features include partial application of passive, typically affecting one predicate or a constituent within
Examples: In practice, osastipassiiviga is described through sentences where only part of the predicate is passive
