registreeruvad

registreeruvad is an Estonian verb form that appears as the present tense, third-person plural of the reflexive verb registreeruma (to register oneself). In usage, it typically conveys that the subjects are enrolling or becoming registered themselves, rather than registering something or someone else. The form can also express a passive or middle sense in contexts where the registration action concerns the subjects themselves.

Morphologically, registreeruvad is built from the stem registreer-, the infinitive marker -ma, and the present tense plural ending -vad, signaling third-person plural. It contrasts with forms like registreerivad (they register something or someone else) and with registreerub (he/she/it registers himself/herself in the singular).

Usage notes:

- Common in contexts describing self-enrollment in services, events, or systems.

- Often used with subject nouns such as inimesed (people), kasutajad (users), or ettevõtted (companies) to indicate voluntary registration.

- It is also used in formal or administrative language when describing how groups sign up or are entered into records.

Examples:

- Nad registreeruvad veebisaidil täna. (They register themselves on the website today.)

- Paljud kasutajad registreeruvad üritusele. (Many users register for the event.)

- Andmed registreeruvad automaatselt süsteemi. (The data are registered automatically in the system.)

- registreerima, the transitive form meaning to register something or someone else

- registreerimine, the process of registration
