kirjoitamme

Kirjoitamme is a Finnish verb form meaning "we write" or "we are writing." It is the first-person plural present indicative form of the verb kirjoittaa, which means to write. In Finnish, the present tense commonly describes actions happening now or in the near future, so kirjoitamme can refer to an ongoing activity or a plan shared by the group.

The form is created by adding the first-person plural ending -mme to the verb stem. The present tense of Finnish verbs typically uses a stem plus person-ending combination, and kirjoitamme follows this pattern to produce the meaning "we write." The spelling also reflects Finnish phonology, with a single t in the stem before the ending.

Usage of kirjoitamme is straightforward in ordinary sentences. For example: Me kirjoitamme raportin. (We are writing a report.) Me kirjoitamme parhaillaan. (We are writing right now.) This form often signals collaboration by a group, organization, or team in contexts such as journalism, literature, academia, or everyday communication. Finnish does not require an auxiliary verb to express present action in simple statements, so kirjoitamme functions as a complete present-tense statement on its own.

Related forms include minä kirjoitan (I write), sinä kirjoitat (you write), te kirjoitatte (you all write), he kirjoittavat (they write), and the imperative kirjoita (write!). The form kirvoitamme illustrates the standard present-tense conjugation pattern for -taa verbs like kirjoittaa, and it aligns with common Finnish morphology and orthography.
