kohtusid

Kohtusid is an Estonian verb form derived from kohtuma (to meet). It is a past tense form used with a third-person plural subject, and it translates roughly as “they met.” In a sentence like Nad kohtusid koolimajas, the meaning is that they met in the school building.

In Estonian, verbs change shape to indicate person and number. Kohtusid specifically marks the past tense for a plural subject and appears in narrative or descriptive sentences where the subject is plural and unnamed or identified in context. It can also occur in longer verb phrases or as part of a clause describing past encounters between people or groups.

There is no separate concept, place, or title commonly associated with the word kohtusid. It is primarily a grammatical form rather than a distinct term with an independent meaning. When encountered in texts, it functions grammatically to convey that the action of meeting occurred in the past and involved multiple subjects.
