Selvitävät

Selvitävät is a Finnish word that translates to "surviving" or "managing" in English. It is the third-person plural present tense form of the verb "selvitä," which means to survive, to get by, to cope, or to be solved. The word often implies overcoming difficulties or challenges, whether personal, financial, or otherwise. It can be used in various contexts to describe a group of people who are enduring a tough situation and managing to stay afloat.

For example, one might say "He selviävät" to mean "They are surviving." This could refer to a family facing economic hardship, a community recovering from a natural disaster, or even a group of friends navigating a difficult period in their lives. The emphasis is on their ability to continue despite adversity. The term can also be used more broadly to indicate that something is being figured out or resolved. If a complex problem is being addressed by a group, one might say "He selviävät siitä," meaning "They will manage to solve it" or "They will figure it out." The nuance of "selvitävät" lies in its active sense of persistence and adaptation in the face of challenges.
