klõpsake

Klõpsake is the Estonian imperative form of the verb klõpsama, meaning to click. It is used as a polite or plural command, equivalent to “please click” or “click (you all).” The informal singular imperative is klõpsa. The word appears frequently in user interfaces and instructional text, guiding readers to perform a clicking action, for example: Klõpsake nuppu või linki.

Grammatically, klõpsake is the second-person plural or formal imperative of klõpsama. The corresponding present tense forms include ma klõpsan, sa klõpsad, ta klõpsab. The related noun klõps refers to a click, either the sound or the action itself. The verb often appears in contexts describing computer mice, touchscreens, or other input devices.

Usage notes: in Estonian, imperative forms distinguish formality and number. For a single informal user, you would use klõpsa; for multiple users or a formal address, klõpsake is appropriate. In guidelines and help texts, klõpsake is common when addressing a group or presenting a formal instruction, such as “Klõpsake siin, et jätkata” or “Klõpsake nuppu.” A synonym in more formal or instructive contexts is vajutage, from vajuma or vajutama (to press).

Overall, klõpsake is a standard, neutral term in Estonian for instructing users to click, particularly in digital and instructional material.
