Injektoivat

Injektoivat is the third-person plural imperfect form of the Finnish verb injektoida, meaning they injected or they were injecting. The verb is used to describe a past action in which a substance was administered by injection, typically with a syringe, needle, or similar device. It is common in medical, veterinary, and laboratory contexts, but can also refer to injecting substances into liquids or materials in various settings.

Injektoida is a loanword in Finnish, derived from Latin injectio and transmitted through other European languages. It belongs to the -oida class of Finnish verbs, and its past tense forms are built with the standard suffixes for imperfect tense. The form injektoivat specifically marks a completed action by a plural subject. Other related forms include injektoin (I injected), injektoit (you injected), injektoi (he/she injected), and the noun injektio, which denotes the injection itself.

Usage notes: Injektoivat is appropriate when the subject performing the action is known to be plural, such as a group of clinicians or researchers. The passive or ongoing sense can be conveyed withinjektoidaan or related constructions, depending on emphasis. In contexts where spray or dispersal rather than needle-based administration is meant, other Finnish verbs like ruiskuttaa may be more suitable.
