Reageerivad

Reageerivad is the third-person plural present tense form of the Estonian verb reageerima, meaning to respond or to react. It denotes that multiple subjects perform the action of reacting to something. Examples: Nad reageerivad kiiresti uudistele. Ettevõtted reageerivad majanduse muutustele.

The participle or adjective form reageeriv describes something that responds to stimuli, for example a reaeeriv sensor or other reactive properties. In texts, the same root appears in compounds related to responsiveness in systems, organisms or processes, all emphasizing the tendency to react to external input.

In usage, reageerivad is common in everyday language as well as in journalism and formal writing when describing how groups, individuals, or institutions respond to events, policies, or conditions. The word carries a neutral, straightforward sense that corresponds to the English "reacts" or "responds." It is part of standard Estonian vocabulary and integrates smoothly into both spoken and written contexts.
