talletuvad

Talletuvad is an Estonian verb form that translates roughly to “they are stored” or “they are deposited.” It is produced from the intransitive verb talletuma and is used to describe a plural subject in the present tense.

Grammatically, talletuvad is the third-person plural present indicative form of talletuma, meaning that it denotes a current or ongoing state of being stored, deposited, or archived. The construction is typically used when referring to multiple items whose storage status is being stated rather than actively performed.

Usage examples illustrate its meaning in context. Dokumendid talletuvad arhiivis, meaning “The documents are stored in the archive.” Andmed talletuvad andmebaasis, meaning “The data are stored in the database.” In both cases the emphasis is on the resulting state of being stored, rather than the act of placing items into storage.

In discourse, talletuvad is common in official, archival, archival science, and IT contexts, where it conveys retention and record-keeping practices. It can be contrasted with talletama (to store/deposit/archivate something, often focusing on the act) and talletus (the act or record of storing).

See also: talletama, talletus, talletamine. These related terms cover the actions of storing, the storage itself, and the broader process of archiving.
