püstitatav

Püstitatav is an Estonian adjective derived from the verb püstitama, which means to erect, set up, or raise. As a participial adjective, püstitatav denotes that something is intended to be erected or installed in the future. It is commonly used to describe objects such as buildings, monuments, installations, or other structures that are planned or proposed but not yet constructed. In English, it can be rendered as “to be erected” or “to be installed.”

Grammatical use and forms: püstitatav behaves like a standard Estonian adjective and agrees with the noun it modifies in number and case. The genitive singular form is püstitatava, the partitive singular form is püstitatavat, and the plural forms include püstitatavad (nominative) and püstitatavate (genitive). The term is most often encountered in formal or technical language, such as planning documents, contracts, and official announcements.

Usage contexts: the phrase püstitatav ehitis or püstitatav monument is typical in planning and construction discourse to indicate a future project. It can be contrasted with ehitatav, which also means “to be constructed,” but is sometimes used to emphasize the process of construction, while püstitatav stresses the intended future state rather than current activity.

Nuance and register: püstitatav carries a neutral, formal tone and is appropriate for official, legal, or technical texts. It is not a common everyday term but is widely understood among professionals dealing with planning, architecture, or public projects.
