Huomioida

Huomioida is a Finnish verb meaning to notice, to pay attention to, or to take into account. It is commonly used to indicate that something should be considered or weighed in decision making, planning, or analysis. In everyday language the expression ottaa huomioon (to take into account) is closely related and frequently used.

The verb is formed from the noun huomio, which denotes attention or notice, with the infinitive suffix -ida. It belongs to the class of regular -ida verbs, and it is commonly found in formal or semi-formal contexts such as reports, instructions, and policy discussions, as well as in ordinary speech when deliberate consideration is intended.

In usage, huomioida often appears with a direct object specifying what is being considered or noticed. It can describe both noticing details and accounting for factors in a broader sense. It contrasts with more spontaneous verbs like huomata (to notice) by emphasizing deliberate attention or inclusion in a judgment or plan. The fixed phrase ottaa huomioon is especially common when describing the act of taking something into account.

Conjugation and forms follow standard patterns for -ida verbs. Present tense forms include minä huomioin, sinä huomioit, hän huomioi, me huomiomme, te huomioitte, he huomioivat. The past tense is formed with typical -i- inflection as with other verbs in the same class. Examples: Meidän on huomioitava kaikki seikat ennen päätöksen tekemistä. Hän huomioi pienet yksityiskohdat.
