juoksette

Juoksette is the second-person plural present indicative form of the Finnish verb juosta, meaning to run. It translates to "you (all) run" or "you all run" in English. In Finnish, verbs are conjugated for person and number, and the present tense for the second-person plural is formed by adding the ending -tte to the stem juokse-, yielding juoksette. The complete present-tense paradigm of juosta includes: minä juoksen, sinä juokset, hän juoksee, me juoksemme, te juoksette, he juoksevat.

Usage and context

Juoksette is used when the subject is explicitly “you all,” as in neutral or formal statements. It is not an imperative form; the imperative plural of juosta is juoskaa. In everyday speech Finnish often omits the subject pronoun, and the verb form alone can convey the intended meaning, though juoksette remains standard in written or carefully constructed sentences.

Examples

- Te juoksette joka aamu. (You all run every morning.)

- Kun te juoksette yhdessä, motivationa voi parantua. (When you all run together, motivation may improve.)

Morphology and relation to other forms

Juoksette derives from the stem juokse- with the 2nd-person plural present ending -tte. It serves as an example of Finnish verb conjugation, illustrating how person and number are encoded in the verb ending.
