Rakennatte

Rakennatte is a Finnish verb form meaning “you (plural) build” or “you are building.” It is the second person plural present indicative of the verb rakentaa, which means to build. The form is used when addressing multiple people who perform the action in the present or in general statements about what they do.

In standard Finnish conjugation, the present indicative forms of rakentaa are: minä rakennan, sinä rakennat, hän rakentaa, me rakennamme, te rakennatte, he rakentavat. Therefore, rakenteatte corresponds to the subject “te” (you, plural). The -tte ending is the conventional present-tense ending for the second person plural in Finnish, attached to the present stem of the verb.

Usage notes and examples:

- Te rakennatte taloa. (You are building a house.)

- Rakennatteko uuden sillan? (Are you building a new bridge?)

Rakennatte is a regular present tense form and does not carry any special irregularities. It can be used in statements, questions (with the -ko/-kö enclitic for forming questions), and in various contexts where the action is attributed to the addressed plural subject. As with other Finnish present forms, the exact nuances of tense and aspect are often inferred from context rather than from a separate grammatical marker.
