Pärjäsitte is a Finnish word that translates to "you (plural) managed" or "you (plural) did well" in English. It is the past tense plural form of the verb "pärjätä," which means to manage, to cope, to get by, or to succeed. The word is commonly used in everyday conversation to express that a group of people was able to overcome a challenge, complete a task, or achieve a desired outcome.

The usage of "pärjäsitte" implies a sense of accomplishment or resilience. For instance, if a group of friends successfully navigated a difficult hike, one might say, "Luontopolku oli vaikea, mutta pärjäsitte!" (The nature trail was difficult, but you managed!). Similarly, if students performed well on an exam, a teacher might comment, "Hienoa työtä, pärjäsitte hyvin!" (Great work, you did well!).

The verb "pärjätä" can also be used in a more general sense of coping with difficult circumstances. If a family endured a tough economic period, someone might remark, "Vaikeista ajoista huolimatta, teidän perheenne pärjäsi." (Despite the difficult times, your family managed.). In this context, "pärjäsitte" would be used if addressing multiple individuals who collectively coped with the hardship. The word's versatility allows it to convey both specific achievements and general perseverance.
