harjuta

Harjuta is an Estonian word that functions as the imperative form of the verb harjutama, meaning to practice or to train. As an imperative, it is used to issue a direct instruction or encouragement, typically addressing one person in educational, athletic, or training contexts. A common usage is Harjuta iga päev, meaning “Practice every day.”

The related noun harjutus denotes an exercise or practice session, and the verb harjutama covers the broader sense of practicing or drilling in preparation for a skill or task. The form harjuta is derived from the root harjut- found in both the noun and the verb, reflecting a morphological pattern in Estonian where nouns of practice or exercise give rise to verbs expressing action related to that activity.

In contemporary Estonian, harjuta appears in written and spoken language, including textbooks, coaching guides, and sport instruction. It is not a proper noun or place name. The word is part of standard vocabulary related to learning, training, and skill development, and it is commonly used in contexts where repetition and systematic effort are emphasized.
