Evakuoin

Evakuoin is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Finnish verb evakuoida, meaning "I evacuate." The base verb evakuoida denotes the act of moving people or animals away from danger or harm to a place of safety.

Evakuoida is commonly used in contexts of emergency management, civil defense, and security planning to describe relocating individuals during disasters, fires, floods, or other threats. The noun evakuointi refers to the evacuation event or process, and the past participle evakuoitu means evacuated.

Etymology: Evakuoida is a loanword adapted to Finnish phonology, formed with the common verb suffix -oida. The word is typically traced to European sources such as Swedish evakuera or French évacuer, and entered Finnish through contact with other languages.

Usage: In formal communication, authorities may instruct the population to participate in evakuointi; in narrative or direct speech, a speaker may say "Minä evakuoin..." to indicate they are carrying out the action. A typical example is "Minä evakuoin ihmiset turvaan," meaning I evacuate people to safety.
