kindlustasid

Kindlustasid is the past tense form of the Estonian verb kindlustama, meaning to insure or to provide security against risk. This form indicates that the action occurred in the past and its subject is either the second person singular (you insured) or the third person plural (they insured). In Estonian, the same ending -asid can be used for different subjects, so the exact actor is usually clarified by the surrounding context or explicit subject pronouns.

In usage, kindlustasid appears in sentences about obtaining or applying insurance coverage, securing protection, or describing actions to mitigate risk. It is common in both everyday language and more formal insurance-related discourse. For example: Nad kindlustasid oma majad kahjude vastu, meaning they insured their houses against damage. Sa kindlustasid end haiguse eest, meaning you insured yourself against illness. Note that the corresponding third-person singular form is kindlustas (he/she insured).

Related terms in Estonian include kindlustus (insurance), kindlustusleping (insurance contract), and kinds of insurance such as kinnisvarakindlustus (property insurance). The verb form kindlustasid is a regular -ama verb in the minevik (past) tense and is part of standard risk management and insurance vocabulary in Estonian.
