Külastate

Külastate is the present tense, second-person plural form of the Estonian verb külastama, meaning to visit. It is used when addressing more than one person, or in formal language when using the polite te pronoun. In Estonian, the te form is often used with no explicit subject, since the verb ending already marks the person and number.

Common uses include talking about visiting places, people, institutions, or events, as well as visiting websites or online content. Examples: Külastate veebisaiti — you visit the website; Te külastate mu kontorit homme. The latter shows how present-tense forms can refer to actions scheduled for the near future in Estonian. The verb can also appear in invitations or instructions addressed to a group.

Külastate is derived from the infinitive külastama. The -ate ending marks the second-person plural present tense, while the imperative for addressing several people is külastage. Other conjugations follow the standard Estonian verb endings: külastan, külastad, külastab, külastame, külastate, külastavad. As a finite verb, külastate cannot stand alone as a noun, and its meaning depends on the surrounding sentence.
