Estonian/Plural

In this lesson we'll learn about the Plural quantity, the Null subject and impersonal verbs.

Plural direct object
In Partitive we learned that there are some verbs that distinguish between partial and whole direct objects like "võtma" - to take. In the whole case, these verbs took the Genitive instead of the Accusative. With plural direct objects, they will instead take the Nominative:


 * Verb with distinction: Whole: ta võtab kruusi - ta võtab kruusid. Partitive: ta võtab .kruuse
 * Verb without distinction: Whole: ta tahab seda - ta tahab neid. Partitive: ta tahab neid

Nouns

 * raha (uncountable) - money
 * töö - job, work

Adverbs

 * ka - also, as well
 * samuti - synonym of ka
 * väga - very
 * .liiga - too, excessively
 * palju - many
 * vähe - little, too little
 * pisut - little
 * veidi - synonym of pisut
 * .liiga vähe - too little
 * .liiga pisut - synonym of liiga vähe, but adopted from western European languages and might sound slightly foreign
 * .piisavalt/.piisavasti - enough-adverbial. This is available in the two common adverb endings -lt and -sti

Verbs

 * hoidma - hoia - to hold
 * leidma - leia - to find
 * üles leidma/leidma üles - üles leia/leia üles - whole of "leidma". "Üles" here is similar to "ära" in Partitive
 * otsima - otsi - to look for/to search
 * andma - anna - to give
