õpitakse

õpitakse is the present passive form of the Estonian verb õppima (to learn, to study). It denotes an action of learning that is not tied to a specific agent; the speaker does not state who learns. In English it is commonly rendered as “is learned” or “one learns,” depending on context.

Grammatically, õpitakse is the present passive form (3rd person singular). It is used for general statements or descriptions of learning processes where the doer is unknown or general. The past passive form is õppiti (was learned).

Usage examples: “Koolis õpitakse matemaatikat ja eesti kirjandust.” “Inglise keelt õpitakse erinevatel kursustel.” These sentences express that these subjects or languages are learned in schools or through courses without specifying who learns them.

Notes: The word comes from the verb õppima and is part of Estonian passive constructions. In translation, it can reflect general knowledge acquisition or ongoing learning. The related active forms include õpin (I learn), õpid (you learn), õpib (he/she learns). The related participle õppinud means “learned.”
