Mietittekö

Mietittekö is a Finnish verb phrase formed from the verb miettiä (to think) in the second-person plural form and the question particle -ko/-kö. It is used to ask a group of people whether they have considered or thought about something. Depending on context, it can translate to “Have you thought (about it)?” or, in a broader sense, “Do you think (about it)?” The phrase is common in both spoken and written Finnish.

Grammatical notes: The base verb miettiä has a present tense form for “you all” as mietitte; attaching the question particle -ko/-kö yields Mietittekö. The exact form of the particle follows Finnish vowel harmony and may appear as -ko or -kö after the preceding syllable. This construction is not a separate word with independent meaning; rather, it is a built-in question form added to the verb to create an interrogative sentence addressed to multiple people.

Usage: Mietittekö can frame inquiries, solicit opinions, or prompt reflection in a respectful or collaborative tone. Examples include Mietittekö tätä ennen kuin teette päätöksen? (Have you thought about this before you make a decision?) and Mietittekö jo, mitä aiotte tehdä seuraavaksi? (Have you already thought about what you plan to do next?)
