Juokset

Juokset is a Finnish verb form meaning “you run.” It is the second person singular present indicative form of the verb juosta, which means to run. Juosta is a common, regular verb of Finnish that belongs to the first conjugation type, characterized by endings that attach to the present tense stem.

In present tense, the standard conjugation for juosta is: minä juoksen, sinä juokset, hän juoksee, me juoksemme, te juoksette, he juoksevat. The form juokset specifically marks the second person singular. The third person singular is juoksee, while the first and second person plural forms are juoksemme and juoksette, and the third person plural is juoksevat. The forms illustrate Finnish verb agreement with the subject, which can be explicit or implied.

Usage: Juokset is used when addressing one person informally or when the subject is understood as “you.” It can appear in statements such as “Sinä juokset joka aamu” (You run every morning) or in questions with the question clitic, for example “Juoksetko sinä?” The form is common in everyday Finnish conversation and writing and does not carry a formal-register tone by itself.

Notes: As with other Finnish present forms, juokset does not indicate tense beyond present time and can be used with adverbs to express tempo or frequency, e.g., “juokset nopeasti” (you run quickly). It is one of several participant-marking forms that illustrate Finnish subject-verb agreement.
