liigutate

Liigutate is a word in the Estonian language, specifically the second-person plural present tense form of the verb liigutama, which means to move, shift, or relocate something. The corresponding infinitive is liigutada, and the noun liigutus means movement or relocation.

In use, liigutate describes the act of moving an object or changing its position, and can also be extended to metaphorical shifts such as changing plans or strategies. It is a transitive verb and typically requires a direct object, for example: Te liigutate selle paremale. (You move it to the right.) The form is used when addressing more than one person or when using the formal plural.

Morphology notes: Estonian verbs conjugate for person and number in the present tense, so liigutatem, liigutate, and other forms reflect subject number. The present tense forms of liigutama include liigutan (I move), liigutad (you move, singular), liigutab (he/she moves), liigutame (we move), liigutate (you move, plural/formal), and liigutavad (they move).
