Arutasid

Arutasid is an Estonian verb form used to indicate that a group discussed something in the past. It is the past tense, third-person plural form of arutama, meaning to discuss, deliberate, or debate. In both written and spoken Estonian, arutasid appears when describing the actions of multiple people in a past time frame.

Grammatically, arutasid is formed from the verb stem used for the past tense with the plural suffix -sid. It is typically used with a direct object indicating what was discussed and can be accompanied by time expressions to situate the action in time, such as yesterday or last week.
