kõndisin

Kõndisin is the first-person singular past tense form of the Estonian verb kõndima, which means to walk. It is a finite verb form used in the indicative mood to describe a walking action that occurred in the past.

Grammatically, kõndisin indicates imperfective aspect in the past and is used for narrating past events, including both completed actions and habitual past scenarios. It answers questions about what the speaker did at a previous time. The form belongs to the standard conjugation of kõndima, with the past tense endings following the normal Estonian pattern.

Common related forms in the past tense include me kõndisime (we walked), sa kõndisid (you walked), ta kõndis (he/she walked), te kõndisite (you all walked), nad kõndisid (they walked). The base stem for past tense is kõnd-, and the endings vary by person and number. In present tense, the verb is kõnnin (I walk), illustrating the shift in endings between present and past.

Usage notes: kõndisin is appropriate for straightforward narration of past walking activities, such as routes taken, durations, or habitual patterns. Like other Estonian verbs, it can be used with time adverbs (eile, täna, kunagi) to situate the action in time. It should not be confused with related verbs such as käima, which can carry nuances of repeated or habitual action, whereas kõndima centers on the act of walking itself.
