Kolisid

Kolisid is an Estonian verb form meaning “they moved.” It is the past tense, third-person plural form of the verb kolima, which means to move or relocate, typically referring to moving residence. Like other Estonian -ima verbs, kolima forms its past tense for plural subjects with the ending -sid.

In use, kolisid is chosen when the subject is multiple people. For example: Nad kolisid eile uude majja. This translates to “They moved to a new house yesterday.” The form appears in everyday speech, journalism, and narrative to describe a completed relocation by more than one person.

Etymology and scope: kolisid derives from the Estonian verb kolima. The word is not a noun or a standalone lexical item; it is a conjugated verb form. The base verb kolima means to move or relocate, and kolisid is one of the standard past-tense forms used with plural subjects. For learners, this illustrates the typical conjugation patterns of Estonian -ima verbs in the past tense.
