Lisandusid

Lisandusid is an Estonian verb form used to indicate that additions occurred in the past. It is the third-person plural past tense of the verb lisanduma, which means to be added or to be included. In practical terms, lisandusid marks that something was added to a set, list, or collection.

Etymology and related forms: lisandusid is derived from the verb lisanduma, whose root lisand- is associated with the idea of an addition or supplement. The related noun lisand means an addition or extra item, and other verb forms share the same root to express adding actions in different tenses and persons.

Usage: The form is typically used in narratives, reports, or log entries where one describes items that have been added to a group or list. It is used with a plural subject and indicates a completed action in the past. For example: Nimekirja lisandusid kaks uut töötajat (Two new employees were added to the list). Another example: Pärast täiendust lisandusid andmed, muudkui parandades uuringu tulemusi.

Notes: lisandusid is a finite verb form and should be distinguished from the related noun lisand (addition) or other verb forms such as lisanduma (to be added) in different tenses. In Estonian, verb forms carry information about number and tense, and lisandusid specifically encodes third-person plural past.
