pääsib

Püsib is the third-person singular present tense form of the Estonian verb püsima, meaning to stay, persist, or endure. The form püsib is used to describe something that remains in a given state over time and can apply to people, conditions, or objects. English equivalents include remains, persists, or stays.

In usage, püsib indicates continuity of a state or condition. It is commonly used with adjectives or state descriptions. For example, Ilm püsib soe means the weather remains warm, and Ta püsib rahulik means he or she remains calm. The term emphasizes stability or ongoing presence rather than a one-time action.
