rakendatavast

Rakendatavast is an Estonian grammatical form of the adjective rakendatav, used to denote something that can be implemented or applied in practice. In everyday and formal Estonian, rakendatav means feasible to implement; rakendatavast is the elative singular form used to refer to the implementable aspect arising from or concerning something, as in phrases such as “põhineb rakendatavast ideest” (based on an implementable idea) or “rakendatavast lahendusest” (from/of an implementable solution). The term is common in formal writing, policy documents, technical reports and research where feasibility and practical applicability are evaluated.

Usage and meaning: When assessing a plan, proposal or technology, authors distinguish between theoretical value and practical implementability. Rakendatav provides a criterion for feasibility, taking into account factors such as technical feasibility, cost, regulatory constraints, institutional capacity, and social acceptance. It does not guarantee success, but signals that deployment is plausible under current conditions.

Etymology and grammar: It derives from the verb rakendada (to implement) and the participial stem -atav. The elative form rakendatavast is used in contexts requiring a phrase like “from the implementable X” or “of the implementable X,” depending on case grammar.
