võid

Võid is an Estonian term that most often appears as a verb form. It is the second-person singular present tense of the verb võita, meaning to win. In this use, võid indicates that someone can or will win, depending on the context. When followed by an infinitive, such as tulla (to come) or minna (to go), võid functions to express ability or possibility: Sa võid tulla means you can come.

Võid is also found as a surname in Estonia, where it is borne by individuals in genealogical and contemporary records. As a surname, it is not tied to a single well-known figure internationally, but rather to a number of people within Estonia and among Estonian-speaking communities.

Related linguistic forms include võit (victory) and võitja (winner), both built on the same word family as võita. The verb võita and its noun forms appear in a range of everyday phrases and idioms, reflecting the concept of winning and success in Estonian.

Overall, Võid, when capitalized, may be encountered as a proper noun or surname, whereas in lowercase it primarily serves as a verb form meaning “you win” or “you can” within a sentence. The term sits within a broader Estonian lexicon connected to victory and competition, with several cognate forms used across different grammatical roles.
