koodivad

Koodivad is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Estonian verb koodida, meaning to code or to encode. It is used when referring to multiple subjects performing coding actions in the present. The form is common in technical writing, education, software development discussions, and everyday speech where several people code at once.

Grammatically, koodida is a regular verb of the -ida conjugation. The infinitive is koodida; the present plural form koodivad is formed by adding the plural suffix -vad to the stem kood-. Other forms include koodib (he/she codes) and koodin (I code).

Examples: Õpilased koodivad rakendust koolitusel. Meeskonnad koodivad koos uue funktsiooni kallal. These sentences illustrate how koodivad is used with plural subjects to express ongoing coding activity in the present.

In broader use, koodivad can appear in both literal and technical contexts, describing actual coding work or metaphorically referring to processes that encode information. The term is primarily a grammatical form rather than a separate concept, and its meaning is determined by the subject and context of the sentence.
