Paranevad

Paranevad is an Estonian verb form. It is the present tense, third-person plural form of the verb paranema, which means to recover or get better. The form is built from the stem parane- plus the present-tense plural suffix -vad. As such, paranevad is used when the subject of the sentence is plural and actively recovering.

Usage: Paranevad appears in medical, health, and everyday contexts. It can describe physical recovery after illness or injury, the gradual improvement of conditions, or figurative improvements in circumstances. It is typically used with plural subjects; the corresponding singular present tense form is paraneb.

Examples: Nad paranevad kiiresti pärast operatsiooni. They are recovering quickly after the operation. Patsiendid paranevad järk-järgult. The patients are recovering gradually.

Etymology and form: paranevad is derived from parane- with the present-tense suffix -vad, aligning with other Estonian verb conjugations. It is a finite form and agrees with a plural subject.
