Programmeerisin

Programmeerisin is the first-person singular past tense form of the Estonian verb programmeerima, meaning to program or to write computer software. It denotes that the speaker performed programming in the past. The form is used in narrative past tense, technical writing, and everyday speech when recounting completed programming work. Like other Estonian verbal forms, it is built from the infinitive stem programmeer- with a past tense personal ending.

Usage and nuance: Programmeerisin can refer to writing code, configuring software, or implementing a feature, depending on context. It typically appears with a direct object or adverbial context to indicate what was programmed. Example sentences: Ma programmeerisin eile uut tarkvaraprojekti. Ma programmeerisin öö läbi, kuni lahendus toimis. In both cases the sentence conveys a completed action at a past time.

Relation: The related verb is programmeerima (infinitive), from which the participle and other tenses are formed. A person who programs professionally is called a programmeerija. In Estonian, this family of words encompasses the act of programming as well as the profession, with variations for different tenses and grammatical persons.
