Sisältyvätkö

Sisältyvätkö is the interrogative present tense form of the Finnish verb sisältyä, meaning to be included. The form is used to ask whether several items or elements are included in something, such as a price, a package, or a program.

Grammatically, sisältyä is an intransitive verb, with its present tense third person plural form being sisältyvät. To turn this into a question, the particle -kö (or -kö according to vowel harmony) is added after the verb: sisältyvätkö. In writing, this exact form is standard, and it is accompanied by rising intonation in speech.

Usage notes emphasize that questions formed with sisältyvätkö typically inquire about inclusion of multiple items. The subject of the clause is in the nominative, while the rest of the sentence clarifies what is being asked about.

Examples:

- Sisältyvätkö nämä kustannukset hintaan? (Are these costs included in the price?)

- Sisältyvätkö ohjelman kaikki osat hintaan? (Are all parts of the program included in the price?)

- Sisältyvätkö takuuehdot tähän pakettiin? (Are the warranty terms included in this package?)

Related forms include the infinitive sisältyä (to be included) and other person forms of sisältyä in affirmative or negative statements. The construction with sisältyvätkö is common in contracts, pricing discussions, and program descriptions where inclusion needs confirmation.
