steriliseeritavale
Steriliseeritavale is an Estonian grammatical form derived from the verb steriliseerima (to sterilize) and the participle adjective steriliseeritav, meaning “sterilizable.” It is the allative form of that adjective, used to indicate the target or object of an action—essentially describing something that is capable of being sterilized and into which a procedure is directed. In technical and regulatory texts, steriliseeritavale often appears to specify where sterilization rules, procedures, or safety requirements apply.
Formation and usage: In Estonian, adjectives and participles decline for case and number and must agree with
- Protseduur kehtib steriliseeritavale materjalile. (The procedure applies to sterilizable material.)
- Ohutusnõuded kehtivad steriliseeritavale pindadele. (Safety requirements apply to sterilizable surfaces.)
Notes: Steriliseeritavale is primarily encountered in technical, regulatory, or manufacturing language. The term helps distinguish between
