Kujutad

Kujutad is the Estonian present-tense form meaning “you imagine” or “you picture.” It is a finite verb form used when addressing someone directly, expressing the action of forming a mental image, scene, or scenario.

The form derives from the verb kujutada (to imagine, to depict) and is related to the noun kujutus (depiction, representation) and the broader family of words around imagining and representation. In Estonian, such verb forms are inflected for person and number without auxiliary verbs, making kujutad a standard second-person singular present tense form.

In usage, kujutad appears in everyday speech as part of phrases that describe mental visualization, planning, or forecasting. It commonly combines with objects or clauses that specify what is imagined, for example when discussing future possibilities, hypothetical situations, or plans. The verb is transitive and can govern direct objects or subordinate clauses, reflecting both concrete depictions and abstract imaginings.

Related forms include kujutab (he/she imagines), kujutasin (I imagined), and kujutasid (you imagined), illustrating how Estonian marks person and tense through suffixal changes. The noun forms kujutus and kujutlus refer to a depiction or a mental image, while kujutlusvõime denotes imagination or imaginative capacity.
