vastuvõetava

Vastuvõetav is an Estonian adjective meaning acceptable, permissible, or admissible. The form vastuvõetava is its genitive singular, used when the adjective modifies a noun in the genitive case (for example, vastuvõetava ettepaneku “an acceptable proposal”). The related noun vastuvõetavus denotes the concept of acceptability.

Usage of vastuvõetav appears mainly in normative texts, policy discussions, evaluative writing, and academic or legal language. It signals that something meets defined criteria or standards, such as a proposal, measure, threshold, or practice being deemed appropriate. The opposite form is ebavastuvõetav, meaning unacceptable. A related noun, vastuvõetavus, is used to discuss the overall acceptability of options or outcomes.

Grammar notes are helpful for correct usage. Estonian adjectives decline for number and case, so vastuvõetava is the genitive singular form, and vastuvõetavate is the genitive plural. Other forms include vastuvõetav (nominative singular) and vastuvõetavad (nominative plural), with corresponding endings in different cases.

Examples:

- See on vastuvõetav lahendus. (That is an acceptable solution.)

- Ettepaneku vastuvõetavus sõltub eelarvest. (The acceptability of the proposal depends on the budget.)

- Selles olukorras nähakse meetmeid vastuvõetavana. (In this situation, the measures are regarded as acceptable.)

Vastuvõetav is a practical term in both evaluation and decision-making contexts, helping to articulate whether options comply with predefined standards.
