Korrigeeri

Korrigeeri is an Estonian verb meaning to correct or to edit. It is the second-person singular imperative form of korrigeerima, the verb that denotes making corrections, amendments, or adjustments. The infinitive is korrigeerima; present tense forms include korrigeerin, korrigeerid, and korrigeerib. The imperative forms are korrigeeri (singular) and korrigeerige (plural or formal).

Etymology and usage context: korrigeerima is a loanword from the German korrigieren, adopted into Estonian with phonetic and morphological integration. In modern Estonian, korrigeeri is used in direct instruction or requests to fix errors or improve a text, dataset, or process. It appears in settings such as proofreading, editing, quality control, software localization, and academic writing.

Grammatical notes: Like other Estonian verbs, korrigeeri reflects subject agreement through its form. The imperative mood signals a command or invitation directed at the listener, with korrigeeri used for one person and korrigeerige for more than one or for polite address. The verb participates in standard tense and aspect constructions with related forms derived from korrigeerima.
