ostetavad

Ostetavad is an Estonian adjective formed from the verb osta, meaning to buy, with the passive participle suffix -tav. It denotes that something is purchasable or can be bought and is used to describe items or goods that are available for purchase.

In grammar, ostetav is the singular form and ostetavad the plural nominative. The word agrees with the noun in number and case, for example: ostetav kaup (a purchasable item) and ostetavad kaubad (purchasable goods). Other forms follow standard Estonian inflection, such as ostetavate toodete (genitive plural) or ostetaval korral (in the adessive case). The form is commonly used in catalogues, price lists, and online shop descriptions to indicate market availability.

Usage and nuance: ostetavad emphasizes that an item can be purchased, rather than simply being offered for sale or currently available. It is more technical or descriptive compared to everyday terms like müüdav or müügile tulnud. In commercial or catalog contexts, ostetavad tooted may appear alongside other descriptors to help consumers determine which items are open to purchase.

Etymology and related forms: Ostetavad is built from the verb osta and the passive participle suffix -tav. Related forms include ostetav (singular) and ostetavus as a related noun concept. The word interacts with other purchasing-related terms in Estonian, such as müüdav (to be sold) or müük (sale).
