kiedä

kiedä is a Finnish verb that translates to "to ripen" or "to mature." It is most commonly used in the context of fruits and vegetables, indicating the process by which they become ready for consumption. For example, "omenat kiedä" means "the apples are ripening." The verb can also be used metaphorically to describe the development or maturation of abstract concepts, such as ideas or plans.

The infinitive form of the verb is "kiedä." Its present tense conjugation for the first person singular is "kiedän" (I ripen), second person singular is "kiedät" (you ripen), and third person singular is "kiedää" (he/she/it ripens). In the plural, it is "kiedämme" (we ripen), "kiedätte" (you all ripen), and "kiedävät" (they ripen). The past tense forms follow a similar pattern, with "kiedin" (I ripened) being the first person singular example.

The word kiedä is derived from the Proto-Finnic root *ketä, which also relates to concepts of growth and development. Its usage is widespread throughout Finnish dialects, though regional variations in pronunciation and exact meaning might exist. Understanding kiedä is essential for comprehending descriptions of agriculture, food preparation, and developmental processes in the Finnish language.
