Väistätte

Väistätte is a Finnish word that serves as the second-person plural present indicative form of the verb "väistää." The verb "väistää" generally translates to "to avoid," "to dodge," or "to yield" in English. Therefore, "väistätte" literally means "you all avoid," "you all dodge," or "you all yield."

The usage of "väistätte" implies a collective action of avoiding or yielding performed by a group of people being addressed. For instance, if a group is in a situation where they need to move out of the way of something, one might say "Väistätte!" to instruct them to do so. The context of the sentence would determine the precise nuance of the verb. It can refer to physical avoidance, such as stepping aside, or a more figurative avoidance of a situation or problem.

As with many Finnish verbs, "väistätte" conjugates based on person and number. The "-tte" ending specifically marks the second person plural, distinguishing it from singular forms like "väistät" (you avoid) or third person plural forms like "väistävät" (they avoid). The word is commonly encountered in everyday spoken and written Finnish.
