Liimib

Liimib is a word in Estonian that functions as a third-person singular present tense verb meaning “glues” or “is gluing.” It is derived from the noun liim, meaning glue or adhesive, and is used to describe the act of attaching one surface to another with adhesive. In everyday language, liimib appears in contexts ranging from crafts and repairs to packaging and manufacturing.

In use, the form follows standard Estonian grammar, with the subject preceding the verb and any objects or complements following. Typical constructions express who is performing the gluing and what is being glued, as well as where the adhesion takes place. For example, liimib can be combined with prepositional phrases to indicate targets such as surfaces or objects, producing sentences that convey a real-time or habitual action.

Liimib also appears in instructional or descriptive text about processes involving adhesives, where it helps to articulate sequential steps or ongoing actions. Because it is a present-tense form, it is especially common in manuals, guides, and real-time descriptions of assembly or repair work.
