Korjaantuiko

Korjaantuiko is a Finnish word that translates to "was it fixed?" or "did it get repaired?" in English. It is the past tense, third-person singular form of the verb "korjaantua," which means to be fixed, to be repaired, or to recover. The word is commonly used in everyday conversation to inquire about the status of something that was broken, damaged, or unwell.

For example, if someone's car broke down, they might ask a mechanic, "Korjaantuiko se?" meaning "Was it fixed?". Similarly, if a person was ill, a friend might inquire, "Korjaantuiko hän?" asking "Did they recover?". The word implies a passive state of being repaired or improved, rather than an active act of fixing. It focuses on the outcome of a process.

The grammatical structure of "korjaantuiko" consists of the verb stem "korjaantu-" and the past tense, interrogative suffix "-iko." This suffix indicates that the question is being asked about a past event. The absence of a subject pronoun before the verb is common in Finnish when the subject is understood from the context. Therefore, "Korjaantuiko?" by itself can mean "Was it fixed?" or "Did it get better?". The precise meaning is derived from the surrounding conversation.
