Tutvustavad

Tutvustavad is an Estonian verb form meaning “they introduce” or “they present.” It is the third-person plural, present tense form of the verb tutvustada, which means to introduce or acquaint. The form is used when the subject is plural and is actively presenting or briefing others about a person, a thing, or information.

Etymology and usage: Tutvustada derives from the root tutvusta- and is related to the noun tutvustus, which denotes an introduction or briefing. The verb is common in formal, educational, media, and business contexts, where multiple subjects are responsible for presenting something to an audience, readers, or participants.

Grammatical notes: As a finite verb form, tutvustavad requires a plural subject and governs the corresponding object in Estonian cases, often in the partitive or accusative, depending on definiteness and quantity. It can pair with various objects, from people to products or concepts.

Examples:

- Nad tutvustavad uusi tooteid. (They are introducing new products.)

- Kõne alguses nad tutvustavad kuulajatele projekti eesmärke. (At the start of the speech, they present the project’s goals to the audience.)

Related forms include tutvustab (he/she introduces) and tutvustada (to introduce). The term is a standard part of Estonian verb morphology and is widely understood in both written and spoken language.
