Revolveerivad

Revolveerivad is an Estonian-language verb form that appears in texts describing rotational motion. It is the present tense, third-person plural form of the verb revolveerima, a word built to express that multiple subjects are currently revolving or rotating around a point or axis. In this sense, it functions similarly to other Estonian verbs that describe motion or rotation and can be used with nouns referring to objects like wheels, planets, or machinery.

Because revolveerima is not a standard dictionary-listed verb in many reference works, revolveerivad often occurs in technical writing, translations, or texts that introduce new vocabulary. In everyday Estonian, more common verbs for rotation are keerlema or pöörlema, while revolveerima may appear as a stylistic choice, a loanword, or a specialized term in scientific or fictional contexts.

Usage notes: revolveerivad is a finite verb form and requires a subject. It follows standard Estonian conjugation patterns for -ima verbs, with the present tense marking indicating plural subject. The form can be extended with typical adverbial modifiers of manner, speed, or direction and can appear in clauses describing ongoing rotational motion or cyclical processes. Metaphorically, revolveerivad can describe ideas, events, or processes that revolve around a central theme or cycle.

See also: keerlev, pöörlev, keerlema, pöörlema. Notes on Estonian verb conjugation and the use of loanword or neologistic terms in technical writing may provide additional guidance for contexts where revolveerima appears.
