lüüakse

Lüüakse is a term of Estonian origin that translates to "is beaten" or "is hit" in English. It is a passive voice construction of the verb "lööma," which means "to beat" or "to hit." The word "lüüakse" itself is the third-person singular present passive form.

In Estonian grammar, the passive voice is formed by adding the suffix "-takse" or "-akse" to the stem of the verb. In this specific case, "lööma" becomes "lüüakse." This grammatical form is used when the subject of the sentence is receiving the action, rather than performing it. For example, "Ukse lüüakse" would mean "The door is beaten" or "The door is hit."

The term can be used in various contexts, from literal physical actions to more figurative expressions. For instance, it can describe a physical beating, but also something that is being defeated or overcome. The precise meaning often depends on the surrounding words and the overall context of the sentence. It is a common and fundamental part of Estonian verb conjugation.
