Välität

Välität is the second-person singular present tense form of the Finnish verb välittää. The verb välittää has two principal meanings in Finnish: to convey or relay something to another person, and to care about someone or something. Consequently, välität can be translated as “you convey/relate” or “you care (about).” The exact sense depends on the object of the verb.

In the conveying sense, välität describes passing information, messages, or duties from one person to another. Examples include: “Välitätkö viestin eteenpäin?” meaning “Will you relay the message forward?” and “Välitätkö tämän tiedon tiimille?” meaning “Will you pass this information to the team?”

In the sense of caring about, the verb expresses concern or interest in a person or matter. Examples include: “Minä välitän sinusta” meaning “I care about you,” and “Mistä sinä välität?” meaning “What do you care about?”

Usage and grammar notes: Välität is part of regular Finnish verb conjugation for -ittää verbs in the present tense. The base form is välittää; present tense forms include minä välitän, sinä välität, hän välittää; past tense is välitti. The meaning shifts with the object, so context and case marking (such as sinusta “about you” or tästä “about this”) help determine whether the sense is conveying or caring.

In written Finnish, capitalizing Välität is uncommon and would typically indicate a proper noun or title rather than the verb form.
