suitsetava

Suitsetava is an Estonian adjective form derived from the verb suitsetama (to smoke). The base adjective suitsetav means smoking or related to smoking. Suitsetava is the inflected form used when the adjective accompanies a noun in the genitive singular, as in phrases describing ownership or association with smoking.

In Estonian, suitsetav belongs to a class of present active participle adjectives. The form suitsetava appears in contexts where a noun is in the genitive case or partitive phrases require the adjective to agree with that case. This makes suitsetava a grammatical variant rather than a standalone lexical entry with a separate meaning.

Usage notes and examples:

- Suitsetava inimese tervis translates to “the health of the smoker” or “the health of the smoking person,” illustrating how suitsetava modifies a noun in genitive singular.

- In ordinary speech, speakers may prefer the noun suitsetaja (smoker) to convey the idea more directly, while suitsetav and its inflected forms appear in descriptive, medical, or linguistic texts discussing smoking-related topics.

Context and related terms:

- Suitsetaja refers to a person who smokes (the smoker).

- Suitsetamine denotes the act or practice of smoking.

- The term is primarily used in Estonian-language texts dealing with health, public policy, or linguistic description of participial adjectives.

Overall, suitsetava is a grammatical form of a participial adjective used to express a smoking-related attribute in Estonian, most often seen in formal or descriptive contexts.
