varustasime

Varustasime is an Estonian verb form meaning “we supplied” or “we equipped.” It is the past tense, first-person plural form of varustama, the verb meaning to supply, equip, or provide.

Morphology and usage details: Varustasime expresses a completed action carried out by the speaker together with others. The subject is “me” (we). The direct object or target of the provisioning is typically stated in the genitive case (for example, a facility or project) and the means or manner of provisioning can be expressed with varustusega (“with equipment”). It is used in both everyday and formal contexts to describe provisioning or outfitting activities.

Contexts and examples: Varustasime is common in logistics, procurement, disaster relief, healthcare, construction, and project management. Examples include sentences such as “Me varustasime haiglat vajaliku meditsiinivarustusega” (We supplied the hospital with the necessary medical equipment) and “Me varustasime projekti vajaliku varustusega ja materjalidega” (We equipped the project with the necessary equipment and materials).

Relation to related terms: The verb is derived from varustus (equipment, supply) and the nominalized form varustamine refers to the act of provisioning. Related words include varustus (equipment) and varustamine (provisioning). In context, varustasime is typically followed by a specification of what was supplied and, if relevant, the means used to supply it.
