Koostage

Koostage is the second-person plural imperative form of the Estonian verb koostama, which means to compose, assemble, or compile. It is used to give a direct instruction to a group to prepare or put together something.

In everyday and formal Estonian, koos t a m a is a productive verb for tasks that involve creating written material, lists, plans, or documents. The imperative form koos ta ge is often preceded by polite markers such as palun in formal requests, for example: Palun koostage aruanne. This usage is common in administrative, educational, and collaborative contexts where several people are responsible for producing a result.

Negative imperative forms also exist: Ärge koostage [something], used to discourage or prevent a group from creating or modifying content inappropriately. The verb blends with many objects, making it versatile for workplace and institutional instructions.

Related terms include koostama (the infinitive, “to compose/assemble”) and koostatav (to be compiled/assembled). The root conveys the idea of putting parts together to form a whole, whether a document, plan, or list.

Notes on usage:

- Koostage is appropriate for addressing groups such as teams, committees, or classes.

- For singular you would use Koosta; for polite requests, Palun koostage.

- Contexts range from official minutes and reports to project planning and checklists.

Overall, koos ta ge serves as a concise, formal directive verb in Estonian, signaling that a group should prepare a specified outcome.
