Leppinud

Leppinud is an Estonian term that denotes the state of having reconciled or having come to terms. It is the past passive participle of the verb leppima, which means to reconcile or to come to terms. In grammar, leppinud can function as a participle or as an adjective describing a state resulting from reconciliation, and it forms perfect aspect when used with the auxiliary olema (to be): olen leppinud, oled leppinud, on leppinud, etc.

In usage, leppinud conveys completion of an agreement or peaceful resolution, often in the context of interpersonal disputes, negotiations, or settlements. It is neutral in tone, without inherent judgment, but can carry a sense of closure or acceptance.

Examples:

- Me oleme leppinud. (We have reconciled / come to terms.)

- Ta on leppinud uute tingimustega. (He/She has accepted the new terms.)

- Leppinud osapooled lõpetasid vaidluse. (The reconciled parties ended the dispute.)

Etymology: leppinud derives from the verb leppima, with the participial suffix -inud, forming a state-taking participle used in perfect constructions and as an adjective.
