Myönsit

Myönsit is a Finnish verb form that functions as the second-person singular past tense of the verb myöntää, meaning to admit, acknowledge, or grant. It is used to indicate that the subject (you) admitted or acknowledged something in the past. The form is part of Finnish verb conjugation patterns in which personal endings attach to a verb stem; for second person singular past tense the ending is typically -sit.

Etymology and form: The base verb myöntää expresses granting or acknowledging, with the past tense form myönsit illustrating the second-person singular in the preterite. The spelling reflects standard Finnish orthography, including the ö vowel in the stem.

Usage: Myönsit appears in both spoken and written Finnish when addressing or referring to a past admission by the listener or a hypothetical you. It is common in everyday dialogue, news reporting, and formal writing where an admission is stated directly. Context often clarifies the exact content of the admission (a mistake, a fact, a liability, etc.).

Examples:

- Sinä myönsit virheesi. (You admitted your mistake.)

- Hän myönsi, että hänen päätöksensä oli virheellinen, mutta myönsit myöhemmin lisätietoja. (He admitted that his decision was faulty, and you may see later that the admission included additional information.)

Note: The form is specific to second-person singular; other persons have distinct past-tense endings such as myönsin (I admitted) and myönsi (he/she admitted).
