Tõstvat

Tõstvat is an Estonian word that primarily functions as the genitive singular form of the noun "tõstuk." "Tõstuk" in Estonian translates to "lift," "elevator," or "hoist" in English. Therefore, "tõstvat" would be used in a possessive or descriptive context, indicating something belonging to or related to a lift. For instance, "lifti uks" translates to "the lift's door," where "lifti" is the genitive singular of "lift." Similarly, "tõstvat uks" would translate to "the lift's door" using the Estonian noun.

Beyond its direct grammatical function, "tõstvat" can also appear in contexts related to the act of lifting or raising. It can be a part of verb conjugations or participles that describe the action of lifting. For example, the present active participle of the verb "tõstma" (to lift) in the genitive case is "tõstvat," indicating something that is lifting or in the process of lifting. This grammatical nuance allows for more complex sentence structures in Estonian, describing ongoing actions or characteristics. Understanding "tõstvat" requires awareness of its dual role as a noun's genitive form and a verb's participle.
