küsisite

Küsisite is a verb form in Estonian derived from the verb küsima, meaning to ask. It is used to indicate that a question was asked by the person or people addressed in the past. In standard Estonian, k ü sise refers to a past tense form associated with the second person plural, roughly corresponding to “you (all) asked” in English.

Morphology and usage context: Küsisite is a finite verb form produced from the stem küs- with the past tense ending -isite. It appears in sentences where the subject is the second person plural or a polite plural address used in dialogue. Like other past-tense forms in Estonian, its exact meaning is determined by context and pronoun usage, but it signals that the action of asking occurred previously.

Common usage: The form often appears in narratives, reported speech, or direct dialogue. It can be part of questions or statements that recount an instance of questioning by the addressed party. Example contexts include conversations about what was asked, why a question was posed, or the sequence of events in a discussion.
