Tõendasid

Tõendasid is the past tense plural form of the Estonian verb "tõendama." The verb "tõendama" means to prove, to confirm, or to bear witness to something. Therefore, "tõendasid" translates to "they proved," "they confirmed," or "they bore witness."

This verb form is used when referring to multiple subjects who performed the action of proving or confirming at some point in the past. For example, "Nad tõendasid tema süütust" translates to "They proved his innocence." In this sentence, "nad" (they) is the plural subject, and "tõendasid" indicates that they collectively performed the act of proving.

The concept of proof and confirmation is fundamental in many contexts, including legal proceedings, scientific research, and everyday arguments. The word "tõendasid" would appear in narratives or reports where a group's actions led to the establishment of a fact or the validation of a claim. Its usage implies a completed action in the past by more than one individual or entity.
