Tykkäsimme

"Tykkäsimme" is a Finnish word that translates to "we liked" or "we enjoyed" in English. It is the past tense, plural form of the verb "tykätä," which means to like or to be fond of something. The word is commonly used in everyday conversation to express a shared positive sentiment or experience.

For example, if a group of friends saw a movie together and all enjoyed it, they might say, "Tykkäsimme elokuvasta," meaning "We liked the movie." Similarly, if a family had a pleasant vacation, they could remark, "Tykkäsimme lomasta," which translates to "We liked the vacation." The subject "we" is implicit in the "-mme" ending of the verb, making the construction efficient and natural in Finnish.

The verb "tykätä" is often followed by the elative case (ending in "-sta" or "-stä") to indicate what was liked. So, "tykkäsimme" would be followed by a noun in the elative case, such as "kirjasta" (from the book), "kahvista" (from the coffee), or "retkestä" (from the excursion). The word's versatility allows it to be applied to a wide range of objects, activities, and experiences, making it a fundamental part of expressing positive shared feelings in Finnish.
