väljatöötatakse

väljatöötatakse is an Estonian verb in the passive voice, present tense, third-person plural form of the verb välja töötama. The infinitive "välja töötama" translates to "to develop," "to work out," or "to elaborate." Therefore, "väljatöötatakse" literally means "is being developed," "is being worked out," or "is being elaborated."

This grammatical form is used when the subject of the action is not explicitly mentioned or is not the focus of the sentence. It indicates a process that is ongoing and performed by an unspecified agent. For example, in a sentence like "Uus programm väljatöötatakse," it means "A new program is being developed." The emphasis is on the program and the fact that its development is in progress, rather than on who is doing the developing.

The verb "väljatöötatakse" is commonly used in contexts discussing projects, plans, strategies, software, research, and other initiatives that are in their formative stages. It signifies that effort and time are being invested into creating or refining something. The passive voice construction is a standard feature in Estonian grammar, allowing for flexibility in sentence structure and focus. Understanding this form is crucial for comprehending the nuances of Estonian communication, particularly when discussing ongoing processes and developments.
