Suostuitte

Suostuitte is the second person plural past tense form of the Finnish verb suostua, meaning to consent or to agree. The form indicates that a group addressed as “te” gave their consent in the past. It is a finite verb form used in narration or reported speech to describe a past act of agreement by multiple people.

Grammatically, suostua is an intransitive verb. The past tense is formed with the suffix -i- and the personal ending -tte for the second person plural, yielding suostuitte. Related past forms include suostuin (I), suostuit (you singular), suostui (he/she), suostuimme (we), suostuivat (they). In negative constructions, the corresponding negative past forms would use ei plus the appropriate verb form, for example ei suostunut (he/she did not consent) or ei suostuneet (they did not consent) depending on the subject.

Usage and nuance: The form is used in written or formal contexts and in recounting events where a group agreed to terms, invitations, or proposals. It signals that the decision was made collectively and in the past. In everyday speech, speakers often use simpler or more context-specific expressions, but suostuitte remains correct for referring to past group consent.
