Rekonstruoivat

Rekonstruoivat is a Finnish verb form meaning “they reconstruct” or “they are reconstructing.” It is the present indicative, third-person plural form of the verb rekonstruoida, which means to reconstruct. In Finnish, the present plural ending -vat/-vät combines with the stem, and in this case the stem harmony results in rekonstruoivat. The form is used when referring to a group performing reconstruction in various contexts.

The infinitive form is rekonstruoida. The noun for the act of reconstruction is typically rekonstruointi, while a person performing reconstruction can be described with rekonstruoija. The word is used across disciplines such as archaeology, architecture, linguistics, and cultural heritage to describe processes of rebuilding, re-creating, or revising historical materials or structures.

Examples include: Tutkijat rekonstruoivat kadonneita tekstejä. Arkeologiset tiimit rekonstruoivat vanhoja rakennuksia. In these sentences, the subject is plural and the action refers to reconstructive work on artifacts, texts, or buildings.

In summary, rekonstruoivat is a standard Finnish present-tense form used to indicate that a group is actively reconstructing something, whether tangible like structures or intangible like historical narratives.
