Poistut

Poistut is a Finnish word that translates to "you leave" or "you exit" in English. It is the second-person singular present indicative form of the verb "poistua," which means to leave or to exit. The word is used in various contexts, from simple directions to more formal instructions.

For example, in a public building, one might see a sign with "Poistut täältä" meaning "You exit here." In a conversation, someone might say "Kun poistut huoneesta, sammuta valot," which translates to "When you leave the room, turn off the lights." The word is commonly encountered in everyday Finnish and is essential for understanding basic directions and actions related to departing a place.

The verb "poistua" itself can be used in a more general sense, not necessarily referring to a person. For instance, "Savua poistui rakennuksesta" means "Smoke exited the building." However, "poistut" specifically denotes the action of leaving performed by an individual addressed as "you." Its usage is straightforward and consistent within the Finnish language.
