Võlgneb

Võlgneb is an Estonian word that translates to "owes" in English. It is the third-person singular present indicative form of the verb "võlgima," which means "to owe." This verb is used in various contexts to indicate that a person or entity has a debt or an obligation to someone else. For example, one might say "Ta võlgneb mulle raha," meaning "He owes me money."

The concept of owing extends beyond financial obligations. It can also refer to owing a favor, a thank you, or even a duty. In Estonian, the structure of the sentence typically clarifies the nature of the debt. The subject performing the action of owing is followed by the verb "võlgneb," and then the object or recipient of the debt.

The word "võlgneb" is a fundamental part of the Estonian language, reflecting the universal human experience of having obligations and being indebted to others, whether financially, morally, or socially. Understanding its usage provides insight into how Estonians express concepts of debt and responsibility in their daily interactions.
