30aastane

30aastane is an Estonian word that translates to "thirty-year-old" in English. It is a common descriptor used to refer to an individual who has reached the age of 30. The word is formed by combining "30" (kolmkümmend) and "aastane" (meaning "year-old"). This term is frequently used in everyday conversation, demographic studies, and personal descriptions within Estonia.

Reaching the age of 30 is often considered a significant milestone in many cultures, and the term 30aastane reflects this in the Estonian context. It can be used in various contexts, such as when discussing age groups for certain events or activities, or when describing someone's life stage. For example, a news report might mention statistics for "30aastased" in relation to employment or family status. Similarly, in personal introductions, someone might describe themselves as "30aastane naine" (a thirty-year-old woman).

The grammatical structure of "aastane" is a suffix that is added to numbers to indicate age. Therefore, terms like "10aastane" (ten-year-old) or "50aastane" (fifty-year-old) follow the same pattern. The use of "30aastane" is straightforward and universally understood within Estonia as referring to someone who is precisely thirty years of age.
