It means that, sometime in the past, 'tulin' "I came", but that I am ''now'' 'tulnud' ("having come", I may not have been finished coming in the past). In the same way, 'olin tulnud' "I had come" means that sometime in the past 'tulin' "I came"... but... it also means that in the ''past'' I was already 'tulnud' ("having come", I finished coming in the past). The difference between olen and olin is the time at which the word 'tulnud' describes your state of being, you can either be "having come" now, or in the past. In both cases, the action of coming took place in the past, but if you came in the past ('tulin') and you are ''still'' coming, then you are not 'tulnud' yet. —[[User:CodeCat|CodeCa]][[User talk:CodeCat|t]] 16:25, 27 December 2011 (UTC) | | | | | | | | == {{l|et|orgasm}}, {{l|et|purse}}, {{l|et|suu}}, {{l|et|keep}}, {{l|et|auto}} == | | == {{l|et|orgasm}}, {{l|et|purse}}, {{l|et|suu}}, {{l|et|keep}}, {{l|et|auto}} == | | |
