ületatavaks

ületatavaks is an Estonian word that translates to "crossable" or "passable" in English. It is an adjective derived from the verb "ületama," meaning "to cross" or "to overcome." The suffix "-tavaks" indicates a potential or possibility, suggesting that something can be crossed or passed.

The word is commonly used to describe physical obstacles such as rivers, roads, or borders. For instance, a river that is shallow enough to wade through or has a bridge would be described as ületatavaks. Similarly, a mountain pass that is clear of snow and ice would also be considered ületatavaks.

Beyond physical crossings, ületatavaks can also refer to abstract concepts. It can be used to describe challenges or difficulties that can be overcome with effort or perseverance. For example, a difficult task or a complex problem might be described as ületatavaks if it is manageable.

The grammatical form of ületatavaks is the translative case, which often indicates a change of state or condition. In this context, it implies that something *becomes* crossable or passable. This nuance suggests a transformation or an achievement of a state where crossing is possible.
