keskenduge

Keskenduge is an Estonian verb form meaning "focus" or "concentrate" in the imperative mood. It is the second-person plural imperative (you all focus) or a polite singular form used to direct a group or an individual with formal address to direct attention or effort toward a subject or task. The form derives from the verb keskenduma, which means to focus or concentrate.

In use, keskenduge appears in instructional, formal, and professional contexts, such as meetings, classrooms, manuals, and guidelines. It is typically followed by a complement specifying what to focus on. Examples include: Keskenduge probleemile, mitte detailidele (Focus on the main problem, not the details) and Keskenduge selle projekti kõige olulisematele aspektidele (Focus on the most important aspects of this project).

Notes on related forms: The informal singular imperative is keskendu (you focus). The negative form for addressing a group or in formal address is ärge keskenduge (do not focus). Related nouns include keskendumine (focusing, concentration) and the adjective keskendunud (focused). Keskenduge is therefore a directive word used to shape attention and effort in collective or formal communication, commonly found in educational, administrative, and professional discourse.
