Päästävätkö

"Päästävätkö" is a Finnish word that translates to "will they let go?" or "will they release?" in English. It is the third-person plural present indicative form of the verb "päästää," which has a broad range of meanings including to let, to allow, to release, to set free, to emit, and to cause. The specific nuance of "päästävätkö" depends heavily on the context in which it is used.

For example, in a sentence like "Päästävätkö he matkustajat ulos?" it would mean "Will they let the passengers out?" Here, "päästää" refers to allowing someone to leave a place. In a different context, such as "Päästävätkö linnut poikaset lentämään?" it translates to "Will the birds let their young fly?" This usage emphasizes the act of releasing or setting free. The interrogative form, indicated by the "-kö" suffix, turns the statement into a question, posing uncertainty about whether the action of releasing or letting go will occur. Understanding the preceding subject and the surrounding words is crucial for accurately interpreting the meaning of "päästävätkö."
