Kuumutab

Kuumatab is an Estonian verb meaning to heat or warm. It is the third-person singular present indicative form of the verb kuumutama, whose infinitive is kuumutada.

The word kuumutab is built from the root associated with hot (kuum) and the -tama suffix that forms verbs in Estonian. Kuumutab is a transitive verb, typically used with a direct object to indicate what is heated or warmed.

Kuumatab is commonly used in everyday speech as well as in cooking, science, and daily instructions. It describes the action of raising the temperature of a substance or space, such as heating water, soup, or a room.

Example: Ta kuumutab suppi. This translates to "He heats the soup."

In a broader linguistic context, kuumutab illustrates how Estonian verbs agree with their subject in person and number in the present tense, and how the infinitive kuumutada relates to other forms derived from the same root.
