Tukkivat

Tukkivat is a Finnish verb form that serves as the third-person plural present indicative of the verb tukkia. The infinitive tukkia means to block, obstruct, clog, or jam. As a present tense form, tukkivat describes multiple subjects performing the blocking action in the present.

In usage, tukkivat is applied to both physical blockages and more figurative obstructions. It can describe how people, objects, or processes create a barrier to passage or flow, such as blocking a road, blocking an entrance, or blocking a service or channel. The form is common in everyday speech as well as in news reports and written discourse when describing ongoing actions by groups or entities.

Grammatically, tukkivat is a regular present-tense form in Finnish, reflecting a plural subject. It is used with a direct object to indicate what is being blocked, for example, a road (tien) or a passage (kulkuväylän). The tense is imperfective, focusing on the ongoing nature of the blocking in the present time.
