tähistava

Tühistava is an Estonian word that translates to "annulling" or "invalidating" in English. It functions as a present active participle of the verb "tühistama," which means to annul, invalidate, cancel, or nullify.

The word can be used in various contexts to describe the act of making something void or without effect. For example, a contract might be described as tühistava if it is in the process of being annulled. Similarly, a decision could be tühistava if it is being overturned or invalidated.

In legal contexts, tühistava might refer to a judgment or action that renders a previous act or document legally ineffective. It implies a formal process of cancellation or voiding. The term emphasizes the ongoing nature of the annulment, suggesting that the process is active or in effect at the time of description.

Beyond legal or contractual situations, tühistava can also be used more broadly to indicate the nullification of a plan, an agreement, or even a statement. It signifies a process that leads to a state of being invalid or no longer binding. The core meaning revolves around the removal of validity or force.
