Viimeistelemme

Viimeistelemme is a Finnish verb form meaning "we finalize" or "we are finalizing." It comes from the verb viimeistellä, which denotes completing, finishing, or polishing something. The form is the present tense, first person plural (1st person plural present indicative), indicated by the ending -mme attached to the stem viimeistele-.

Grammatically, viimeistelemme expresses that the action is undertaken by the speaker together with others. Finnish verbs do not distinguish a separate future tense in many contexts, so present tense forms like viimeistelemme can refer to near-future plans depending on time adverbs or surrounding context. The form contrasts with other persons and numbers, such as viimeistelet (you finalize) or viimeistelemme (we finalize). Negative forms exist as emme viimeistele (we do not finalize).

Usage and context vary by domain. In business, software development, editing, or manufacturing, viimeistelemme is used to indicate adding final touches, completing details, or preparing a deliverable for release. It often appears with time expressions or considerations of quality control, such as viimeistelemme raportin tänään (we are finalizing the report today) or viimeistelemme tuotteet ennen läpimurtoa (we will finalize the products before launch).

Related terms include viimeistellä (the infinitive "to finalize"), viimeistely (the act or process of finishing/finishing touches), and various noun forms referring to the finalization stage. The word is standard Finnish and warrants typical morphological forms when conjugating or deriving related terms.
