sissehingab

Sissehingab is the present-tense, third-person singular form of the Estonian verb sissehingama, meaning to inhale or to draw air into the lungs. It is used to describe someone actively taking air into the lungs, for example during normal breathing, exertion, or breathing exercises.

Etymology and form: The infinitive is sissehingama, a compound of sisse- (inward) and hingama (to breathe). In the present tense, Estonian attaches the third-person singular ending -ab, yielding sissehingab. Related forms include sissehingan (I inhale) and sissehingad (you inhale), depending on the subject.

Usage: Sissehingab appears in everyday language as well as medical, sports, and descriptive prose to depict inhalation. Examples: "Ta sissehingab sügavalt läbi nina" (He inhales deeply through his nose). "Treeningu ajal sissehingab ta aeglaselt ja kontrollitult" (During the exercise he inhales slowly and controlledly). In medical contexts, the term may be part of larger discussions of breathing patterns, inhalation therapies, or pulmonary function.

See also: Hingamine (breathing) and Sissehingamine (inhalation). The term is a standard finite form and part of the broader Estonian vocabulary for respiration.
