Aiheuttavatko

aiheuttavatko is a Finnish word that translates to "do they cause" or "are they causing" in English. It is a question form of the verb "aiheuttaa," which means to cause, to result in, or to give rise to. The suffix "-vat" indicates a plural subject performing the action, and the "-ko" suffix is the interrogative particle, turning the statement into a question.

This word is used to inquire about the causal relationship between multiple subjects and a particular effect or outcome. For example, one might ask "Aiheuttavatko nämä lääkkeet sivuvaikutuksia?" which translates to "Do these medications cause side effects?". The structure of the question is straightforward, focusing on whether a group of things or people are responsible for something happening.

The usage of "aiheuttavatko" is common in everyday Finnish conversation, scientific discussions, and formal inquiries where the cause of a phenomenon is being investigated. It allows for the direct questioning of responsibility or influence attributed to a plural entity. The grammatical construction remains consistent regardless of the specific subject or the nature of the effect being questioned. It is a fundamental part of expressing curiosity about causality in the Finnish language.
