Pelaamme

Pelaamme is a Finnish verb form meaning "we play" in English. It is the first person plural present indicative form of pelata, the verb that means to play.

Conjugation in the present tense shows the following forms: minä pelaan, sinä pelaat, hän pelaa; me pelaamme, te pelaatte, he pelaavat. In ordinary speech the subject pronoun is often omitted because the verb form already indicates the person and number.

Usage of pelaamme covers playing games, sports, or instruments, as well as engaging in playful activities. The present tense is used for both habitual actions and ongoing activities. Examples include: Me pelaamme jalkapalloa. (We play soccer.) Pelaamme korttia illalla. (We will play cards this evening, or we are playing cards tonight.) Me pelaamme kitaraa. (We play the guitar.)

Notes on form and syntax: Finnish verbs carry information about person and number in the verb form, so explicit subjects like me, sinä, or he are often optional. The word pelaamme can be combined with adverbs of time (kerran viikossa, joka lauantai) to express frequency, duration, or immediacy of the action.
