tasutav

Tasutav is an Estonian adjective used primarily in financial and administrative language to describe something that is payable or due. It is formed from the verb tasuda (to pay) with the common adjectival suffix -tav, a productive pattern in Estonian for creating descriptors of action or state related to a noun.

In contracts, invoices, and official notices, tasutav qualifying a sum or charge signals that the amount must still be settled. For example, a contract might refer to a “tasutav summa” to indicate the portion of charges that remains payable by the debtor, as opposed to amounts that have already been paid.

The term is mainly encountered in Estonian-language contexts and translated into English as payable or due when rendering multilingual documents. It is one of several terms in Estonian that connect payment obligations to the entities responsible for settling them; related roots include tasuda (to pay) and tasumine (payment).

Tasutav is not a distinct legal category on its own but a descriptive term used to specify payment-related obligations within texts. Its usage helps clarify which amounts are outstanding and subject to payment, contributing to precision in contractual and financial communication.
