The form signals that the subject was “we” and that the action occurred in the past.

Etymology and grammar: suorittaa belongs to the group of Finnish verbs built from the stem suorita- and related to the noun suoritus, meaning a performance or completion. Suoritimme combines the verb stem with a past-tense ending that marks first-person plural, indicating that the speaker is talking about a group including themselves performing the action in the past.

Usage and nuance: Suorittaminen is used broadly for completing tasks, conducting procedures, or carrying out activities. Suoritimme specifically asserts that the group completed the action. It often appears in narratives, reports, or statements recounting past events. Examples include Me suoritimme tehtävät ajoissa (We completed the tasks on time) and Me suoritimme projektin suunnitelman mukaan (We carried out the project according to plan).

Other person and tense forms include suoritan (I perform) and suorittavat (they perform). Finnish verb conjugation relies on stem changes and suffixes to indicate mood, tense, and person.
