heikkenisivät

Heikkenisivät is the third-person plural conditional form of the Finnish verb "heikentyä," which means to weaken, diminish, or decline. This grammatical form expresses a hypothetical or potential weakening. For example, "Jos sää heikkenisivät, matka peruuntuisi" translates to "If the weather were to weaken (deteriorate), the trip would be canceled."
