korjaatte

Korjaatte is a Finnish verb form, specifically the present tense, second-person plural of korjata, meaning to repair or fix. The form indicates that you (plural) are performing the action in the present. In ordinary speech it is used to address more than one person, and the subject pronoun te is often implied by the verb ending, though it can be added for emphasis.

Morphology and usage: The present tense for this verb follows the standard Finnish pattern, with korjaatte corresponding to the second-person plural ending. Other person forms are korjaan (I repair), korjaat (you repair, singular), korjaa (he/she repairs or imperative singular), korjaamme (we repair), and korjaavat (they repair). Korjaatte is commonly used with a direct object in the accusative or partitive case, for example, Te korjaatte auton or Te korjaatte tätä laitetta. Questions are formed with the -ko/-kö question suffix, as in Korjaatteko tämän?

Context and nuance: The verb can refer to physical repair, such as fixing a broken appliance, or figurative repair, such as repairing a plan or relationship. It is standard Finnish and widely understood across dialects. Like other Finnish verbs, korjaatte agrees with the subject in number rather than gender, and the pronoun te is optional if the subject is clear from context.

Examples:

- Te korjaatte auton tänään. (You are repairing the car today.)

- Korjaatteko tämän koneen? (Are you repairing this machine?)
