Sekoita

Sekoita is the imperative form of the Finnish verb sekoittaa, meaning to mix or to blend. It is used to issue a direct instruction to someone to combine ingredients or components. For example: "Sekoita munat sekä sokeri." The form is second-person singular; corresponding forms include "sekoittakaa" for the second person plural. The negative imperative is formed with "älä": "Älä sekoita" (don’t mix) and, for plural, "Älkää sekoittako" (don’t mix, plural).

Sekoittaa is a transitive verb; its verbal noun forms include "sekoittaminen" (the act of mixing) and the noun "sekoitus" (a mixture). In usage, sekoita appears in everyday instruction, especially in recipes, cooking guidance, laboratories, and workshops where components must be combined. It can be used with direct objects such as ingredients or parts: "Sekoita voi ja sokeri," or in more abstract contexts like "Sekoita ainekset huolellisesti." In written manuals, capitalization is typically limited to sentence-start positions; otherwise the word is lowercase.

Pronunciation is roughly "SEH-koy-tah." Spelling follows standard Finnish orthography, and the word is lowercase in ordinary text unless at the beginning of a sentence or in a proper name. See also: sekoittaa, sekoitus, sekoittaminen.
