Laativat

Laativat is a Finnish finite verb form used to indicate that a plural subject drafts something in the present tense. It is the third-person plural present indicative form of the verb laatia, meaning to draft, compose, or prepare. The form appears in sentences where multiple subjects are actively performing the drafting action, such as creating contracts, proposals, legislation, or guidelines. Laat ia is a transitive verb and is common in administrative, legal, and organizational language.

Conjugation and use: The present indicative forms of laatia include minä laadin, sinä laadit, hän laatii, me laadimme, te laaditte, he laativat. Therefore, laativat specifically marks “they draft.” The verb is typically used in formal or official contexts, where documents or textual materials are being prepared or revised.
