kohtume

Kohtume is an Estonian verb form meaning “we meet.” It is the present-tense, first-person plural form of the reflexive verb kohtuma, which means to meet or encounter. In Estonian, the present tense is commonly used for both actual meetings and planned future meetings, so kohtume can be translated as “we meet” or, in context, “we will meet.”

Conjugation and related forms provide a clear picture of usage. In the present tense, the full paradigm for the verb kohtuda/kohtuma is: ma kohtun, sa kohtud, ta kohtub, me kohtume, te kohtute, nad kohtuvad. The noun form kohtumine means “a meeting” or “an encounter,” and is used for both social gatherings and more formal events.

Usage notes help clarify practical application. For example, you can say “Kohtume kell kahel” to arrange a meeting at two o’clock, or “Kohtume homme” to indicate a meeting tomorrow. As a standalone directive, “Kohtume!” can function similarly to “Let’s meet.” The form is neutral and commonly found in everyday speech, correspondence, and scheduling contexts.
