Tukeaksesi

Tukeaksesi is a Finnish verb meaning "to be able to" or "to be capable of." It is a common and versatile verb used in everyday conversation and written Finnish. The verb is formed from the root "tuk-" which relates to support or ability, combined with the infinitive suffix "-a" and the passive personal suffix "-k" for the third person singular, which in this context indicates an inherent capability.

The verb "tukeaksesi" is often used in conjunction with another verb to express that someone has the ability to perform a specific action. For example, "Hän tukeaksesi puhua englantia" translates to "He is able to speak English." The tense and person of the verb can be changed to reflect different subjects and timeframes. "Minä tuken puhua suomea" means "I can speak Finnish."

Understanding "tukeaksesi" is crucial for learners of Finnish as it allows for the expression of abilities, possibilities, and permissions. It can also be used in a more nuanced way to imply that something is feasible or likely to happen. Its presence in a sentence often suggests a condition or a potential outcome. The verb's structure reflects the agglutinative nature of the Finnish language, where suffixes are added to a root to convey complex grammatical information.
