raamitud

Raamitud is an Estonian adjective meaning framed, referring to an object that has been placed inside a frame or presented within a defined boundary. It is the past passive participle form of the verb raamida, which means to frame or to mount in a frame.

In everyday use, raamitud describes physical framing of objects such as art and mirrors. Common examples include raamitud pilt (framed picture) or raamitud peegel (framed mirror). The term can also appear in more figurative contexts, for instance in discussions of display or presentation, where a work or piece of information is said to be raamitud within a specific frame or context, and in literary discussions to denote a framed narrative.

Formation and grammar: Raamitud is formed with the root raam- (frame) plus the derivational suffix -itud, producing a past participle that can modify nouns. It behaves as a standard Estonian adjective and agrees with the noun in number and case, for example: raamitud pilt (nominative singular, “framed picture”), raamitud piltide (genitive plural, “of framed pictures”).
