Tarjoilemme

Tarjoilemme is a Finnish verb form meaning “we serve” or “we offer.” It is the first-person plural present indicative form of the verb that conveys offering or providing services, typically used by businesses, restaurants, event organizers, and other service providers to describe what they supply.

Grammatically, tarjoilemme appears in contexts where a group (we) is declaring ongoing actions or capabilities. It can be used with direct objects in partitive or genitive cases, depending on what is being offered. For example: “Tarjoilemme kahvia ja pullaa” (We serve coffee and buns) or “Tarjoilemme catering-palvelut yrityksille” (We offer catering services to businesses). The form is common in menus, signs, advertisements, and company statements where clear, active information about services is needed.

Usage notes, nuances, and alternatives:

- Tarjoilemme is often chosen for a slightly more service-oriented or hospitable nuance than the broad “tarjoamme” in everyday marketing, though both forms are correct and widely understood.

- The verb is closely related to tarjota (“to offer”) and tarjota-palveluita, with tarjoilla/ tarjota used across hospitality, retail, and event contexts.

- In negative constructions or questions, the same verb form shifts as required by Finnish grammar (e.g., “Emme tarjoile alkoholia” or “Tarjoilemmeko lounasta tänään?”).
