Haastattelevat

Haastattelevat is a Finnish verb meaning "to interview" or "to interrogate." It is the third-person plural present tense form of the verb haastatella. When used in a sentence, it indicates that multiple people are conducting an interview or an interrogation. For example, the phrase "He haastattelevat johtajaa" translates to "They are interviewing the manager."

The verb haastatella itself is derived from the noun haastattelu, which means "interview" or "interrogation." The act of haastattelevat can occur in various contexts, such as journalism, where reporters interview sources for news stories, or in legal settings, where investigators interrogate suspects. It can also refer to the process of interviewing candidates for a job or for admission into an educational institution. The nuance of the word can shift depending on the context; "interviewing" generally implies a more neutral exchange of information, while "interrogating" suggests a more formal and potentially probing questioning. The plural form emphasizes the collective action of multiple individuals carrying out this task.
