Pidätätte

Pidätätte is a Finnish word, specifically the second-person plural form of the verb "pitää," which translates to "to like" or "to keep" in English. In the context of "liking," pidätätte means "you (plural) like." For example, "Pidätättekö tästä musiikista?" translates to "Do you (plural) like this music?" It is used when addressing more than one person. The verb "pitää" also has the meaning of "to keep," and in this sense, pidätätte would mean "you (plural) keep." However, the "liking" meaning is more commonly encountered in everyday speech. The word is formed by taking the verb stem "pidät-" and adding the plural ending "-te." This grammatical structure is characteristic of Finnish verb conjugation. Understanding pidätätte is essential for comprehending Finnish sentences where a group of people's preferences or actions of keeping something are being described.
