Õpitama

Õpitama is a verb in the Estonian language. It is the causative form of the verb õppima, which means "to learn." Therefore, õpitama translates to "to make someone learn" or "to teach." The verb implies an active effort to impart knowledge or skills to another person. It is often used in contexts where instruction or training is involved, such as a teacher instructing students or a parent teaching a child. The concept of õpitama emphasizes the process of facilitating learning in others, rather than the act of learning itself. It can be used in various grammatical constructions to describe the act of teaching.

The nuance of the word suggests a deliberate and often methodical approach to education or skill transfer.
