Påse

Pääse is the second-person singular imperative form of the Finnish verb päästä. It is used to give a direct command or invitation and is most common in informal speech. The core sense in this mood is to tell someone to enter or proceed, and it is often followed by a location or action, such as in phrases like Pääse sisään (Come in), Pääse mukaan (Come along), or Pääse pois tieltä (Get out of the way). The subject is implied: you.

Morphology and related forms: The form pääse is specifically the 2nd person singular imperative of päästä. The negative imperative is formed with älä, as in Älä pääse (Don’t come in / Don’t get in). For addressing more than one person, the corresponding plural imperative is pääsekää, as in Pääsekää sisään (Please come in, you all).

Usage notes: Pääse is primarily used in spoken language, scripts, or signs that aim for a brisk, direct tone. In more formal or courteous contexts, speakers often use alternative constructions, such as requests or more elaborate phrasing, to soften the command. The word päästä and its imperative forms are versatile in meaning because päästä encompasses several related senses, including entering a space, beginning an action, or achieving access, depending on the surrounding context.

Etymology and classification: Pääse derives from the Finnish verb päästä, which centers on concepts of reaching, entering, or getting through. The imperative form szó is one of the numerous mood and voice forms that Finnish verbs employ to convey direct commands.
