sünteesib

Sünteesib is an Estonian verb form meaning “synthesizes” or “is synthesizing.” It is the third-person singular present indicative form of the verb sünteesima, which means to synthesize. The root süntees- comes from the noun süntees (synthesis), a term widely used in science and borrowed from international scientific vocabulary, itself traceable to Greek roots.

In usage, sünteesib is employed to describe a subject performing a synthesis, such as the production of a chemical compound or the creation of a combined concept. The verb is transitive, typically taking a direct object that names the product of the synthesis, for example ta sünteesib uut ühendit (“he/she synthesizes a new compound”). The infinitive form is sünteesima, and other conjugations follow standard Estonian verb patterns.

Etymology and related terms: Sünteesib is linked to the noun süntees and to the broader set of words formed with the stem süntees-, which appear in scientific vocabulary. Related verbs include sünteesida, a less common variant used in some contexts to mean to undertake synthesis.

Usage notes: Sünteesib generally expresses present tense, with tense or aspect clarified by context or accompanying time expressions. In scientific writing, it frequently appears in active voice to describe procedures or outcomes, while passive constructions may also be used depending on style.
