Ohjatkaa

Ohjatkaa is a Finnish verb form: the second-person plural imperative of ohjata, meaning to guide, direct, or steer. It is used to issue commands or instructions to a group, often in formal or instructional contexts. The form derives from the noun ohja, meaning steering or guidance, with the standard Finnish imperative suffix -kaa/-kää, producing ohjatkaa. The corresponding singular imperative is ohjaa.

In use, ohjatkaa is transitive and typically requires a direct object—what is to be guided or steered—and can be combined with directional or methodological adverbs. It appears in manuals, safety announcements, training sessions, and other situations where a group is being directed to perform a task. The tone is directive and can feel formal or authoritative; softer or more casual alternatives may be used in everyday speech when addressing an individual or a small group.
