interested; showing interest or curiosity in something; wanting something to happen or succeed; having a stake in something
Building blocks
huvi- → from the noun huvi (interest)
-ta- → (causative) turns it into a verb: huvitama = to interest, to cause interest
-tud → past participle ending (works like English -ed)
So literally huvitatud means: “made interested”

What to remember
What you’re interested in goes in the Elative case (ending -st). English says interested in, Estonian says interested from.
❌ huvitatud filmis → ✅ huvitatud filmist
