Näkee

Näkee is a Finnish verb form meaning "sees." It is the present indicative third-person singular form of nähdä, "to see." The word is commonly used in everyday Finnish to describe the act of perceiving with the eyes in the present.

In full present-tense conjugation, it appears as minä näen, sinä näet, hän näkee, me näemme, te näette, he näkevät. The negative form is ei näe (he/she does not see). The imperative singular is näe (see!). The participle näynyt means "seen."

Etymology: näkee comes from the verb nähdä, which traces back to the Finnic root näe- and Proto-Finnic languages. Related forms include näkö- in compounds like näkymä (view) and näkemykset (views). The root näh- is shared with other vision-related words in Finnish.

Usage: Näkee is used to express concrete perception in the present. Finnish often omits the subject, so sentences like "Näkee talon" may appear in context, though the full form "Hän näkee" is common when the subject needs to be explicit. The form is standard Finnish and widely understood across dialects.
