Ülekantakse

Ülekantakse is an Estonian verb form that represents the present tense, passive voice of ülekanda, meaning to transfer, forward, or transmit. It literally translates as “is transferred” or “is being transferred.” The prefix üle- conveys movement across a boundary or from one place to another, while kandma means “to carry.” The noun for the act is ülekandmine (the transfer).

Grammatical notes: Estonian forms the passive with suffixes such as -akse or -takse; ülekantakse is the third-person singular or plural present passive form of ülekanda. The active counterpart is ülekanda. The corresponding past passive participle is ülekantud (transferred), used in compound tenses and adjectival phrases.

Usage: ülekantakse is used when the subject undergoes the transfer rather than performing it. It is common in contexts involving money, data, or goods moving from one location to another. Examples include: Raha ülekantakse järgmisel pangapäeval. (The money is transferred on the next banking day.) Dokumendid ülekantakse serverisse. (The documents are transferred to the server.) Andmed ülekantakse teisele süsteemile. (The data are transferred to another system.)

See also: ülekandmine (the act of transferring), ülekandja (transmitter or transfer agent). The term generally appears in technical, financial, and logistical texts, as well as in formal explanations of processes involving transmission or relocation.
