redigeeritavat

Redigeeritav is an Estonian adjective meaning editable or capable of being edited. It is used to describe content or elements that can be modified by a user, author, or editor. The form redigeeritavat is the partitive singular inflection of the adjective, commonly appearing in phrases such as redigeeritavat teksti (editable text). The term is widely used in software interfaces, content management systems, and documentation to indicate editable status.

Etymology and formulation: redigeeritav is formed from the verb redigeerima, meaning to edit, with the present passive participle suffix -tav. This construction denotes something that can undergo the action of editing. Because Estonian adjectives decline for case and number, redigeeritav appears in various forms; for example, redigeeritava teksti is genitive singular, redigeeritavat teksti is partitive singular, and redigeeritavad tekstid are nominative plural.

Usage and examples: In digital contexts, redigeeritav is used to label content that users may modify. Examples include redigeeritav sisu (editable content), redigeeritav vorm (editable form), and see redigeeritav tekst (this editable text). It can contrast with non-editable or read-only content, helping users understand permission levels and workflow stages.

Grammatical notes: As with other Estonian adjectives, forms change to fit the noun they modify. The common base form redigeeritav is used in predicative positions (See dokument on redigeeritav) and in attributive phrases. The partitive form redigeeritavat appears when the noun is in the partitive case, such as redigeeritavat teksti.
