Tarkkaavat

Tarkkaavat is a Finnish word that translates to "observing" or "watching" in English. It is the third-person plural present active indicative form of the verb tarkkailla, which means to observe, watch, or monitor. The word is commonly used to describe the act of a group of people or entities paying close attention to something. For example, one might say "Hevoset tarkkaavat ratsastajaa" which translates to "The horses are observing the rider." This suggests a nuanced attention, perhaps indicating curiosity or wariness. In a broader sense, "tarkkaavat" can refer to surveillance or careful scrutiny by multiple individuals or systems. The context in which the word is used will determine the precise meaning, but the core concept remains one of focused visual attention or monitoring.
