sündunud

Sündinud is an Estonian word that translates to "born" in English. It is used to indicate the event of a person or animal coming into existence. The word is derived from the Estonian verb "sündima," meaning "to be born."

In Estonian culture and language, "sündinud" is a fundamental term with various applications. It is most commonly encountered when referring to a person's birthdate, often appearing on official documents like birth certificates and identification cards. For example, a sentence like "Ta on sündinud 1990. aastal" translates to "He/She was born in 1990."

The term also extends to the origin of things, though less frequently. While "born" in English can sometimes be used metaphorically for the origin of ideas or movements, "sündinud" in Estonian primarily retains its literal meaning related to biological birth. However, in certain poetic or figurative contexts, it might be used to describe the origin or creation of something, implying a natural emergence.

The grammatical form of "sündinud" is the past participle of the verb "sündima." This means it describes a state that resulted from the action of being born. It is an invariable form, meaning it does not change based on gender or number of the subject it refers to.
