lõhnastasin

Lõhnastasin is an Estonian verb, the first-person singular past tense of the verb lõhnastama. This verb means "to perfume" or "to scent". Therefore, "lõhnastasin" translates to "I perfumed" or "I scented". It indicates an action performed by the speaker in the past where they applied a scent to something. This could be a person, an object, or even a space. For example, someone might say "Ma lõhnastasin oma tuba" meaning "I scented my room". The verb implies the deliberate application of fragrance. It is distinct from simply smelling something, which would be expressed by a different verb. The root word "lõhn" means "smell" or "scent". The suffix "-sta" often indicates a causative action, meaning to cause something to happen. The ending "-sin" is the first-person singular past tense marker for verbs. Thus, the word meticulously breaks down to convey the action of causing something to have a scent, performed by the speaker in the past.
