Ülekandub

Ülekandub is an Estonian verb form meaning “is transferred” or “is transmitted,” depending on context. It is the third-person singular present indicative form of the verb ülekanduma (to be transferred / to be transmitted) or of ülekandma (to transfer). The form is commonly used in technical, administrative, and media language to describe something moving from one state, place, or system to another.

In usage, ülekandub describes the forward movement or propagation of information, signals, or objects. Examples include the transmission of data over a network or the forwarding of a message. Because Estonian often treats such processes as ongoing or passive-like events, ülekandub can appear in impersonal or intransitive constructions where the focus is on the transfer rather than on an agent. For instance, “Info ülekandub võrgu kaudu.” (The information is transmitted over the network.)

Grammatical notes: ülekandub is the present tense, third-person singular form. The infinitive form is ülekandma, with related noun forms such as ülekandmine (the act of transferring/transmitting) or ülekanne (a transfer / transmission), depending on sense. The word is built from the prefix üle- meaning “over/across” and the root kand- related to carrying or moving, aligning with related verbs for transferring or transmitting.
