Therefore, mõisteti can translate to "was understood," "was judged," or "was sentenced," depending on the context. For instance, if someone said "ta mõisteti süüdi" it would translate to "he was found guilty" or "he was convicted." If the sentence was "see mõisteti kohe ära," it would mean "that was understood immediately." The specific nuance of mõisteti is entirely determined by the surrounding words and the overall situation.
