Pysäköin

Pysäköin is the first-person singular present indicative form of the Finnish verb pysäköidä, which means to park a vehicle. The form is used when the speaker refers to parking in the present tense. In everyday Finnish, the pronoun minä is often omitted, so pysäköin can function as a complete verb phrase on its own, equivalent to “I park” in English.

From pysäköidä, pysäköin is formed by removing the -dä infinitive ending and adding the present tense suffix -in, with the stem pysäköi-. The standard present forms include pysäköin (I park), pysäköit (you park), pysäköi (he/she parks), pysäköimme (we park), pysäköitte (you all park), and pysäköivät (they park).

Common contexts for the form include describing routine driving behavior, giving instructions, or reporting actions related to parking on streets, in lots, or at events. The related noun pysäköinti refers to parking as an activity or concept (the act or practice of parking).

Notes: pysäköin should not be confused with the noun pysäköinti or with other participial forms such as pysäköity (parked, past participle). The verb pysäköidä belongs to the Finnish -dä verbs and participates in the standard Finnish subject–verb agreement system through its various conjugations.
