tõrjutakse

Tõrjutakse is an Estonian verb that translates to "are repelled," "are pushed back," or "are rejected" in English. It is the passive plural present tense form of the verb "tõrjuma," which means to repel, push back, reject, or fend off.

The word "tõrjutakse" is used in a variety of contexts. In a military or defensive setting, it might describe how enemy forces are repelled or how an attack is pushed back. In a more social or interpersonal context, it can refer to individuals or ideas being rejected or ostracized. For instance, if a new proposal is met with significant opposition, it might be said that "uus ettepanek tõrjutakse" (the new proposal is being rejected).

The passive voice in Estonian, as indicated by the "-takse" ending, signifies that the subject of the sentence is not performing the action but is instead the recipient of it. Therefore, when "tõrjutakse" is used, the focus is on the act of being repelled or rejected, rather than on who or what is doing the repelling or rejecting. The specific meaning is often clarified by the surrounding sentence structure and context.
