õpite

Õpite is a present-tense verb form in Estonian, specifically the second-person plural form of the verb õppima, meaning to study or to learn. It translates to “you study” or “you are studying” and is used to address a group. In Estonian, the subject pronoun te is often omitted because the verb form already indicates the person and number. The spelling includes the letter õ, a distinct vowel in Estonian orthography.

Morphology and usage

The form is derived from the infinitive õppima, with the standard present-tense suffix -te for second-person plural. The stem is õpi-, and the final -te marks the plural subject. Õpite appears in educational and instructional contexts, but can also occur in everyday speech when addressing a group of listeners or students. Because Estonian often omits the subject, sentences may simply read as Õpite hästi, understood as “You all study well.”

Examples

Te õpite matemaatikat iga päev. (You study mathematics every day.)

Õpite uusi oskusi ja rakendate neid tööl. (You learn new skills and apply them at work.)

Note

Õpite is a regular part of Estonian grammar and does not function independently as a noun or proper term; it is a grammatical form of learning-related verbs.
