Kommenteerida

Kommenteerida is the Estonian verb meaning to make a remark about something or to provide commentary. It covers expressing an opinion in response to a text, event, or media item, as well as annotating or adding notes to a document. The term is widely used in everyday speech and especially in online contexts such as news articles, blogs, and social media, where readers can comment on content.

Usage and syntax: Kommenteerida is transitive. Common constructions include kommenteerida millegi kohta (to comment on something) or kommenteerida midagi (to comment something). Examples: Ta kommenteeris artikli. Palun kommenteerige postitust. Present tense forms are ma kommenteerin, sa kommenteerid, ta kommenteerib, me kommenteerime, te kommenteerite, nad kommenteerivad. Past tense: kommenteeris; past participle: kommenteerinud. The tone can be neutral, positive, or critical; in journalism or editing contexts it often implies analysis rather than mere praise.

Etymology and related terms: Kommenteerida is a loanword from a foreign language, most likely via German kommentieren or English to comment. The related noun kommenteerimine or kommentaar refers to the act or result of commenting, i.e., commentary or remark. The term is firmly established in standard Estonian and used across media, academia, and everyday speech.
