Vajutad

Vajutad is a verb form in Estonian, representing the second-person singular present tense of the verb vajutama, which means to press or push. It denotes an action performed by the subject you (informal or general you) and is commonly used in everyday speech, instructional text, and user interfaces.

In use, vajutad typically describes pressing a tangible surface such as a button or key, or tapping a touchscreen. It can also appear in figurative contexts where pressing or applying pressure is implied, though in everyday language the physical sense is most frequent. The form is found in instructions, manuals, and digital guidance, for example in sentences like “Vajutad nuppu, et jätkata” (You press the button to continue) or “Vajutad klahvi, kui soovid salvestada” (You press the key if you want to save).

Vajutad is part of a verb paradigm that includes the infinitive vajutada, past tense vajutas, and the passive or participial form vajutatud. Knowledge of this form helps with understanding pronoun-verb agreement and word order in Estonian sentences, where the subject is often implied by the verb form and the object follows the verb.

See also: vajutada (to press), vajutatud (pressed), vajutamine (pressing). The term is a standard element of Estonian lexicon and remains widely used across spoken and written language, particularly in contexts involving buttons, controls, and interactive interfaces.
