armastasid

Armastasid is an Estonian verb form, the past tense of armastama, meaning to love. The form can function as either second-person singular past tense (“you loved”) or third-person plural past tense (“they loved”), with the exact subject usually determined from context or an explicit subject pronoun. This ambiguity is common in Estonian verb conjugation, where the same ending can correspond to multiple subjects.

The related noun armastus means love, and the verb armastama is used to express both romantic and general affection. In sentences, armastasid typically denotes a completed action in the past. Examples include: “Sa armastasid mind” (You loved me) and “Nad armastasid teda” (They loved him/her). Other forms in the same conjugation pattern include armastasin (I loved), armastasid (you loved or they loved, depending on subject), armastasime (we loved), and armastasite (you loved, plural).

Armastasid is a standard, commonly used form in everyday Estonian and appears in literature, journalism, and speech.
