Korrigoida

Korrigoida is a term that appears in some nonstandard or informal contexts as an Estonian verb, but it is not established in standard dictionaries. In normative Estonian, the closest and widely accepted equivalents for the meaning “to correct” or “to adjust” are korrigeerida and parandada. Because korrigoida is not treated as a standard lemma, its meaning can be unclear and its usage may be considered nonstandard or a misspelling of korrigeerida.

Origin and status

Korrigoida may reflect a colloquial or mistaken form influenced by other Estonian verbs or by the general pattern of -ida infinitives in some dialects. Since it lacks an official lexical entry, its precise meaning, pronunciation, and grammatical behaviour are not documented in standard language resources. In practice, if encountered, korrigoida is typically read as an unreliable or nonstandard variant rather than a recognized verb with a fixed set of conjugations.

Usage guidance

In formal or written Estonian, it is advisable to use korrigeerida when referring to correcting or editing something, for example korrigeerida teksti or parandada vigu. If korrigoida appears in contemporary texts, readers should treat it as nonstandard or potentially erroneous and consider providing a standard alternative.

Note

Because korrigoida lacks standard acceptance, any discussion of its exact semantics should acknowledge its nonstandard status and rely on the established verbs korrigeerida and parandada for clear communication.
