ennakoi

Ennakoi is a Finnish verb form meaning “he/she/it anticipates,” and it is the third-person singular present indicative of the verb ennakoida (to anticipate, foresee, or forecast). The infinitive ennakoida covers a broad range of foresight actions, from predicting weather or market trends to planning ahead in daily life or strategic contexts. The noun form ennakointi refers to anticipation or forecasting, while the adjective ennakoiva describes something that is anticipatory or forward-looking.

Usage in Finnish is common in business, science, and public discourse, where foreseeing outcomes or preparing for likely scenarios is relevant. In practical writing, ennakoi can introduce a clause expressing a forecast or expectation, often accompanied by quantitative or qualitative context. The related noun ennakointi is used to discuss the act or process of forecasting in a more abstract sense, such as risk assessments or strategic planning.
