Supistelevat

Supistelevat is a Finnish verb meaning "they whisper." It is the third-person plural present indicative form of the verb "supista," which means "to whisper." The verb describes the act of speaking in a low, soft voice, often in a way that is difficult for others to hear. This can be done for various reasons, such as to share a secret, to avoid disturbing others, or out of shyness or fear.

The word "supistelevat" itself is composed of the verb stem "supistel-" and the plural ending "-evät." The "-evät" ending signifies that the action is being performed by multiple subjects (they). The verb can be used in a variety of contexts. For instance, one might say "Lapset supistelevat salaisuuksia" (The children are whispering secrets) or "Ihmiset supistelevat hiljaa bussissa" (People are whispering quietly on the bus). The sound of whispering is often soft and sibilant, and the word "supista" reflects this through its onomatopoeic qualities. Understanding the conjugation of Finnish verbs like "supista" is essential for constructing grammatically correct sentences in the language.
