tagastatud

Tagastatud is an Estonian adjective formed from the verb tagastama, meaning to return or give back. It denotes that something has been returned, either to its owner or to its original place, and it is the past passive participle form. It can modify a noun as in "tagastatud raamat" (a returned book) or appear in a predicate construction with the verb olema, as in "raamat on tagastatud" (the book has been returned).

Common contexts include libraries, retail, and logistics, where items that borrowers, customers, or shipments have returned are described as tagastatud. In legal or administrative language, it can refer to property that has been restored to its rightful owner, such as "tagastatud vara". In information systems, it may describe data that has been returned or restored, for example "tagastatud andmed".

Tagastatud is related to tagastus, the noun meaning "return" or "refund". The verb tagastama is transitive; tagastatud functions as an adjective or a past-participial form, and agreement with the noun follows standard Estonian grammar. The term is common in everyday Estonian alongside other participial forms.
