Ühendavas

Ühendavas is an Estonian grammatical form derived from the verb ühendama, meaning to connect or to join. It represents the present active participle, describing an action of connecting that is taking place or characterizing something that performs or enables connection. In usage, ühendavas can function as an adjective-like participle, modifying a noun or forming part of a predicate with a linking element.

As a participle, ühendavas shares properties with other Estonian participles in that it declines for number and case like adjectives. This allows it to appear in attributive position directly before a noun (for example, describing a connecting role or function) and in various predicative constructions within sentences.

In practical terms, ühendavas is most commonly found in formal or technical language, where processes, systems, or actions involving connection or linking are being described. It can also appear in literary or descriptive prose to convey the sense of something that is in the process of connecting or that serves to connect elements.

Related terms include ühendama (to connect), ühendav (connecting), and ühendus (connection). The broader category is Estonian participles, which form a bridge between verbal and adjectival usage in the language.
