Suostuin

Suostuin is the first-person singular past tense form of the Finnish verb suostua, which means to consent, agree, or accede to a proposal, request, or condition. The verb is used when the speaker has accepted something that was proposed or required. In present tense it appears as suostun, and the past tense forms include suostuin, suostuit, suostui, suostuimme, suostuitte, suostuivat. The past participle is suostunut, and it is used with forms of olla (olen suostunut, olemme suostuneet) to express perfect tenses.

In usage, suostua is typically followed by a noun phrase in the illative case indicating what is being agreed to (for example, pyynnöönsä, ehdotukseensa) or by a clause introduced by että that specifies the agreement (for example, että projekti siirretään). The nuance of suostua can range from straightforward consent to mild willingness depending on context and tone. It is common in both formal and informal speech.

Common collocations include suostua ehdotukseen, suostua pyyntöön, and suostua tekemään jtk (to agree to do something). The verb often contrasts with stronger or more reluctant terms such as myöntyä, which can imply a more deliberate or even reluctant acquiescence. Suostuin thus conveys a completed act of agreement by the speaker, with meaning shaped by the surrounding context and phrasing.
