Suostusid

Suostusid is an Estonian verb form meaning “they/you (plural) consented” or “they/you (plural) agreed.” It is the past tense form of the verb suostuma, which means to consent or to agree. The infinitive suostuma forms the basis for the past-tense paradigm, and suostusid signals both past tense and plural subject.

In usage, suostusid is employed when reporting that a group or multiple people agreed to a proposal, plan, or condition. It commonly appears in narrative, formal reporting, and textual descriptions of decisions or settlements reached by more than one person.

Related forms include suostus or suostumine, which function as the noun equivalents referring to consent or the act of consenting, and the related past tense forms for different subjects (singular or plural). As with many Estonian verbs, the exact form of the past tense aligns with the subject and sentence syntax, but suostusid specifically marks a plural past action of agreeing.
