väetava

Võetava is the genitive singular form of the Estonian adjective võetav, which is a participial adjective derived from the verb võtta (to take, to seize). The base meaning of võetav is "able to be taken" or "capable of being taken/obtained." As a grammatical form, võetav describes something that can be taken, seized, retrieved, or otherwise obtained, and it can also be used in a broader, figurative sense such as something that can be adopted or accepted.

In usage, võetav appears in contexts ranging from everyday language to legal or administrative registers. It can describe tangible objects that may be seized or retrieved, as well as more abstract items that can be taken into account or accepted. For example, võetav vara means assets that can be seized, while võetav tõend can refer to admissible or usable evidence. The sense is determined by the noun it accompanies and the surrounding context.

Morphologically, võetav forms adjectives that decline for number and case like other Estonian adjectives. The genitive singular form is võetava, which is used when modifying a noun in genitive: võetava vara, võetava tõendi. Other inflected forms include võetavat (partitive singular) and võetavate (genitive plural), among others. The noun derived from the adjective is võetavus, denoting the quality or state of being takable or obtainable.
