This is the 180th most frequent Estonian word.
olen
The Estonian word "olen" means "I am" in English.
In this interrogative sentence, 'olen' is used to question the identity of the subject, forming part of a personal inquiry.
Kes ma olen?
Who am I?
In this sentence, 'olen' is the first-person singular form of the verb 'olema', meaning 'to be'. It indicates the subject's state of being or condition.
Ma olen õnnelik.
I am happy.
Here, 'olen' again represents the first-person singular of the verb 'to be', describing the subject's preparedness or an ongoing state.
