täiendati

Täiendati is an Estonian verb form from täiendama, meaning to supplement, add to, or complete. It denotes that something was provided with additional material, information, or resources. The form täiendati is the past tense, passive voice, indicating that the subject received the supplementation rather than performing the action. The corresponding present passive form is täiendatakse (it is being supplemented / will be supplemented).

In usage, täiendati is common in formal, administrative, and academic contexts. It is often used to describe updates to data, information, budgets, or content where new elements have been added to what existed previously. For example: Andmeid täiendati uute faktidega. (The data were supplemented with new facts.) Uuringukomponenti täiendati lisamaterjalidega. (The study component was supplemented with additional materials.) Raamatu sisu täiendati eelretsenseeritavate allikatega. (The book’s content was supplemented with peer-reviewed sources.)
