Muotoitatte

Muotoitatte is a Finnish word that translates to "you sculpt" or "you shape" in English. It is the second-person singular present indicative form of the verb muotoilla, which means to sculpt, shape, form, or design.

The word muotoitatte can be used in various contexts. It might refer to the literal act of shaping a material, such as clay or wood, by an individual. For example, "Sinä muotoitatte savea kauniiksi maljakoksi" translates to "You sculpt the clay into a beautiful vase." It can also be used metaphorically. One might say, "Sinä muotoitatte tulevaisuuttasi" meaning "You shape your future." The use of "sinä" (you) before "muotoitatte" is often optional in Finnish as the verb conjugation itself indicates the subject, but it can be included for emphasis or clarity.

Understanding muotoitatte requires knowledge of Finnish verb conjugation, which is highly inflected. The ending "-tte" signifies the second-person singular present tense. This form is distinct from other conjugations, such as the plural form "muotoilette" (you all sculpt). Therefore, muotoitatte specifically addresses a single individual's action of shaping or sculpting.
